Epidemiology and Risk Analysis

This theme brings together a multidisciplinary team of scientists to gain insight into the epidemiology of key emerging and zoontoic infections. Studies will be designed and data analysed using state of the art statistical, epidemiological and dynamic modelling methods, to understand transmission, quanitify risks and, where possible, to evaluate potential control measures.
Long-term objectives:
- To inform diagnostic development and validation, outbreak control policies, and pathogenesis studies using samples and datasets from PHE/HPRU partners.
- Determine the distribution of Lyme Disease risk around the country to inform the provision of pubic health advice by PHE and improve the awareness and management of Lyme disease by health professionals.
- Develop, test and implement methods for estimating HICD nosocomial transmisison risk and the impact of interventions.
