The Environmental Infectious Diseases specialization focuses on studying the rise of foodborne and waterborne illnesses globally, including within the United States. Shifting environmental factors significantly influence how infectious diseases spread and manifest. Experts are increasingly worried that climate change might enable tropical diseases carried by insects to reach new regions. When examining disease transmission pathways, environmental conditions often serve as crucial reservoirs for pathogens and facilitate spread through contaminated food, water supplies, and airborne particles. This curriculum examines environmental influences on disease - from fundamental infection prevention strategies to forecasting outbreaks of novel pathogens.
