Know how to interpret an epidemic curve?

- Epidemic curves are a visual representation of the onset of cases in an outbreak. In this video Dr Greg Martin explains how to interpret and epidemic curve for point source outbreaks, common source outbreaks and propagated outbreaks. Epidemiologists and public health professionals use epi-curves (or epidemic / epidemiological) curves to better understand infectious disease outbreaks.
This video was created with support from the University of Notre Dame. Find out more about their program here: ntrda.me/2btUrXb
If you're interested in epidemiology then consider watching the epidemiology playlist on this channel, here: • Epidemiology and resea...

Helps a lot with Science Olympiad!
The event “Disease Detectives” has a lot of epidemiology references in it so this video and others are a big help!
Well done, sir. I hold that scientists and engineers who make things "simple" are, in fact, the best thinkers
Thanks a lot, Doctor Greg. I appreciate your hard work in producing a well-established and sophisticated channel to discuss those complicated concepts in simple terms. Which benefits both doctors and the general public. I found this video very useful for my medical studies. Amazing job!
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
Dr. Greg, your videos are educative and they serve as a guide to some of us offering health courses like Public Health.
But i personally find it interesting in listening with such a speed that i cannot estimate it to be. You obviously have to slow down a bit and help send the required message necessary to comprehend by us the audience. Thanks and may God the Almighty bless you for your relentless efforts in impacting people.
Makes a lot of sense theses days, thanks !
I’d think this video would have a lot more views after a year of COVID. Great video. Wish I’d found it a year ago.
I could watch this instructor all day! You can tell he is genuinely excited to talk Epi
"peter out" lmao! I'm gonna have to use that one. I have been looking everywhere for videos like this to explain how to actually model diseases. I am very excited to have found a reliable source. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback zak - glad you enjoyed the video. Lots more in the pipeline so stay tuned. :)
Thank you, I'm doing Disease Detectives for the first time this year and this was really helpful!
Thank you for the feedback. Glad it was helpful
Yooooo same!
Uau! Three years after this video was published, COVID-19 came!
And its been a year to your comment.... but still Covid us there
Thanks for sharing this wonderful explanation with good examples.
very good like the way you break down the incubation and Latent periods.
Thank you. Thank you. I'd love to see the original video without the irritating music like this one. This was easy to follow and process.
Very Interesting debriefing, thank you!
Thanks Omer.
Thanks Professor! This is a great discussion!
Thanks for the feedback Jan. Glad you liked it.
Excellent video!
Very useful for both instructor and students
Great job Greg! Suggestion, could you slow down the speech delivery? It will make it easier for non native English speakers to grasp the content of your presentation. Very interesting
Philippe Gasquet - thanks for the suggestion 😀, will try to slow down for sure.
You can play the video in 0.75X speed
Thankyou greg.. loving your videos
Thanks Muhammad - much appreciated. Glad you like the videos. Will keep them coming. Happy day. Greg
Well explained
This is amazing
Thanks for the clear video
:) anytime Naomi. :)
Great lecture
Thanks, Tariro!
Thank you very much
You are most welcome 😀
Hello.
You've done a great job in sharing your knowledge and helping everyone out here.
I have a question. After forming an epidemic curve, how can we predict the number of cases for the future, keeping in view the trend in the factual curve? Is there something more complex? Any other program than excel?
3blue1brown video might help
@@_Vortex___ thanks for the videos guys it was released so my pet couldn't eat 😭
Awesome!
Glad you liked it Yolanda! :)
thank you for represent this lesson make more in surveillance
Thanks for the comment - will do. :)
Also better if had presentation like this on Preventive care (Maternal health Services,MDSR)
Will work on one (thanks for the suggestion).
GREAT.
Thank you for making this helpful explanatory video.
I just watched it on January 29th 2020 during the time that China is under the shadow of 2019-nCoV. Your effort to enhance awareness of prophylaxis is highly appreciated.
I am personally interested in 'propagated outbreak' that you mentioned, especially its growth pattern. Is the epi curve of propagated outbreak similar to a exponential growth pattern? Slow at beginning but skyrocketing as time runs?
If possible, could you make an extra video about that ?
The pathogen curves has a red bend line from the right bottom protecting it
Is Latent period always within Incubation Period ? Can u give example either ways
very informative
Glad you liked it Bonface :)
thank you .
You are most welcome Batool. :)
Greg the fees for the Masters are huge. it would cost me more to do my masters than buy the plot of land we're going to be building on soon. Am I missing something? Also it is distance learning? I couldn't see for sure, but it seemed to be class based. Could you clarify?
Hi Catherine,
You are right - Masters programs do close a lot (especially if you're studying in the US and paying in South African Rands). The problem is made more difficult by the fact that, in Europe for example, subsidies are available to EU citizens and not for students coming from abroad. The only comfort that I can offer is that once you start looking, there are scholarships and support mechanisms out there that provide a lot of help. Distance learning is also an option as you can study and work at the same time and don't have the expense of living abroad. The Masters of Science in Global Health that I spoke of in the video is not a distance learning program per se (but I can find out what Notre Dame offers in terms of distance learning options and get back to you). Anyway - I hope that all is well in South Africa. Take care! :) Greg
Superb
Thank you!
Really clear

Thanks Kamilnieli
Iatrogenic Epidemic spread: This what happened to Mom @WSAMCS 2016 MRSA, Hepatitis C, C-Diff, Providencia Bacteria, Septic Shock...etc.
thaaaank you
You're most welcome
Pathogen has 2 curves both on the right top and bottom you get my point?
😂👍
There were additional IATROGENIC'S INJURIES...multiples Medical Predators. causation/ induced but I just don't know the name of or knew they were concealed.
Love the videos. Could you please decrease the size of your face tho. It sometimes blocks the figures
It's very useful ✨
Cause of course did people can't get sick! 🤣
Thank you for the feedback.
What if multiple cakes were eaten by the guests….will this be a common source exposure?
Ahh I see….water you drink it multiple times throughout a week let’s say, of exposure while I don’t think you will
Be having cake for a wedding that often as drinking water from your contaminated tap for e.g

Very good lecture but you speak too fast, sometime it’s hard to understand as not a native speaker.
Shave the head, grow a beard. Thank me later.
Well explained
Thanks :)
