Introduction
The disease triangle
Effects of the environment on the pathogen
Effects of the host on the pathogen
Disease development in time and space
Concluding remarks
Epidemiology: the science that deals with the dynamic relationships between hosts and their pathogens at the population level
Disease progress curve: a plot that shows graphically how disease intensity changes over time
Time
Disease intensity
Epidemic: a change in disease intensity over time

How disease intensity is measured ?
Disease incidence: The proportion of infected host units, out of the total units sampled
Disease severity: The proportion of infected part (or area), in each of the sampled units

Monocyclic pathogens
Complete only one disease cycle in a growing season
The host is susceptible for a very short tine (smuts)
The infection units do not disseminate within the same growing season (soil-borne pathogens)
The environmental conditions are conducive for a short time
The growth of the pathogen is slow
Pathogens are monocyclic because:
