description |
Molecular epidemiology (ME) is a branch of epidemiology developed by merging molecular biology into
epidemiological studies. In this paper, the authors try to discuss the ways that molecular epidemiology studies
identify infectious diseases’ causation and pathogenesis, and unravel infectious agents’ sources, reservoirs,
circulation pattern, transmission pattern, transmission probability, and transmission order. They bring real-world
examples of research works in each area to make each study design more understandable. They also address some
research areas and study design aspects that need further attention in future. They close with some thoughts about
future directions in this field and emphasize on the need for training competent molecular epidemiology
specialists that are capable of dealing with rapid advances in the field. |
