What Are the Challenges in Infectious Disease Epidemiology?
Several challenges complicate the study and management of infectious diseases:
Emerging and re-emerging diseases: New pathogens and the resurgence of old ones can overwhelm existing public health measures. Antibiotic resistance: The rise of resistant strains of bacteria makes treating infections more difficult. Globalization: Increased travel and trade can facilitate the rapid spread of infectious diseases across borders. Data limitations: Inaccurate or incomplete data can hinder effective disease tracking and management.
