Question

Discuss the ecology of diseases and disease epidemiology in detail.

Answer 1

Answer:

Disease ecology is a rapidly developing subdiscipline of ecology concerned with how species interactions and abiotic components of the environment affect patterns and processes of disease. ... As a consequence, a framework broader than the simplest host-pathogen system is often required to understand disease dynamics.

Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where), patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
