Infectious diseases are the consequence of complex interactions between microbiological
agents (known as pathogens), physical and social environments, and human hosts. This
subject examines how controlling communicable disease of public health importance
requires a wide variety of strategies to address these interactions. The subject deals
with the principles and practice of public health surveillance, disease outbreak recognition
and responses, immunisation, and a variety of other disease control strategies relevant
to Australia as well as to many low- and middle-income countries.
