PRINCIPLES OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
One of the important landmarks in man's struggle to conquer disease was the
invention of the microscope, generally attributed to Anton van Leeuwenhoek of Holland.
Leeuwenhoek described the appearance of protozoa to the Royal Society of London in
1673. Thus, the world became aware of microbial life. Subsequently, Louis Pasteur,
Lord Lister, Robert Koch, and others established the role of microorganisms as the
causative agents of many diseases and developed techniques for determining the
etiology (cause) and preventive measures for many previously uncontrolled diseases.
During the period 1893--1902, several important events occurred in military
medicine that benefited not only the Army, but mankind in general. Under the direction
of Army Surgeon General George Sternberg (also known as "The Father of American
Bacteriology"), Walter Reed, William Gorgas, and other medical officers made dramatic
progress in the etiology and control of typhoid fever, malaria, and yellow fever.
This subcourse introduces the basic principles of disease transmission and
epidemiology--principles which were used by Reed and Gorgas and which are in use
today. It also introduces the student to the study of the microbiological agents, which
are important from a military and public health viewpoint.
Subcourse Components:
This subcourse consists of three lessons.
Lesson 1, Introduction to Disease Transmission and Epidemiology.
Lesson 2, Public Health Microbiology.
Lesson 3, Practical Application of Microbiology
