Home Outbreak in Bangladesh Update Title Outbreak in Bangladesh Meet Dr. Blakesley Picture of Epidemiologist Epidemiologic Intelligence Officer US Center of Disease Control & Prevention Area of Interest: Emerging infectious diseases/outbreak investigations Audio of Epidemiologist with Pop-up transcript option. (below) “Thanks for volunteering for the Bangladesh project. I hear that you’re interested in epidemiology and want to learn about the tools and methods used to study disease outbreak. When assigned to a new outbreak like this one, we’ll look for patterns in the outbreak to try to piece together the puzzle about why the outbreak occurred. We’ll look for clues by assessing where the cases occur and who is getting sick. We gather data about patients including their gender, age, occupation, activities and what they ate prior to the illness. We also look for clues about the seasonality of the outbreaks. For example, many outbreaks occur near the Fourth of July because of warm, contaminated potato salad at picnics! I always try to think about where the illness came from and how it was transmitted to humans. Let’s get you caught up on the data we’ve already gathered and show you some of the methods we use along the way.” Audio Insert Audio
