Intellectual Framework for the teaching of Epidemiology
Much epidemiologic work in the eighteenth century involved the recording and analysis of deaths, grouped according to the diagnoses then in use (e.g., dropsy, ague). Although the discipline
of epidemiology antedates the discovery of infectious disease agents, in the nineteenth century it was widely applied to the study of epidemics, many of which were subsequently found to be of infectious origin.
