在美国和世界范围内，环境传染病的集中与食源性和传染病的出现有关。环境和环境中不断变化的条件可能对传染病的分布和发生产生重大影响。对于热带病媒传播疾病的潜在扩展，全球气候变化日益引起关注。在评估感染链时，环境可能在水库维护以及通过食物，水和空气的传播途径中起关键作用。从感染控制的基本原理到预测新发感染的影响，该计划将
The Environmental Infectious Diseases concentration is concerned with the emergence of foodborne and infectious diseases in the United States and around the world. The environment and changing conditions in the environment can have a great impact on the distribution and occurrence of infectious diseases. Global climate change is a growing concern regarding the potential expansion of tropical vector borne diseases. In evaluating the chain of infection, environment may play a key role in reservoir maintenance, as well as a route of transmission through food, water, and air. From basic principles of infection control to predicting the impact of emerging infections, this program will explore the environmental factors associated with infectious diseases.
