Epidemics
Overview
Epidemics is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of infectious diseases and their impact on human populations. It provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their findings, insights, and strategies for preventing, controlling, and managing epidemics. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including epidemiology, disease surveillance, outbreak investigations, mathematical modeling, public health interventions, and the social, economic, and cultural aspects of epidemics. With its interdisciplinary approach, Epidemics aims to advance our understanding of infecti
