Whilst public health practice has widened in scope, reducing the incidence of both existing and emerging communicable diseases (nationally and internationally) remains one of the greatest challenges to public health practitioners. Relevant activities undertaken by local/state health agencies include public health surveillance and outbreak investigation measures, immunisation programs, monitoring and enforcing infection control standards, and vector control programs.A comprehensive overview of communicable diseases is provided at the start of this unit, followed by a focus on the prevention and control of communicable diseases.","title-full":"PUN466 Communicable Diseases","title-short":"Communicable Diseases","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=PUN466&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=PUN466","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=PUN466"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
