AB  - In  this  chapter,  we  review  the  epidemiologic  concepts  underlying  the  prevention  and  control  of  infectious  diseases.  While  public  health  and  medical  professionals  are  familiar  with  the  interventions  commonly  used  to  prevent  or  control  infectious  diseases,  the  underlying  epidemiologic  concepts  that  drive  and  guide  these  interventions  may  be  less  familiar.  Although  we  focus  on  acute  infectious  diseases,  these  concepts  are  broadly  applicable  to  communicable  diseases,  including  chronic  or  neoplastic  diseases  caused  by  exogenous  transmissible  agents  such  as  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV),  hepatitis  B  and  C  viruses  (HBV  and  HCV),  human  papilloma  virus,  and  prions.
