Diseases that were once fatal, such as polio, tetanus, and meningitis are now associated with much higher patient survival rates because of the life-saving immunizations. Due to the success of the vaccines, the federal and state…

Infectious disease have been around for many years. They impact many species, including humans. The study of how the disease spread is epidemiology (1). Epidemiology looks at the way a disease spread across a group of people. It looks at the changes in disease patterns (1). There is also a new movement in included anthropologic perspectives to the study of epidemiology (9). I argue that by understanding the epidemiology of disease of the past we can develop prevention plans for the disease in…
