Abstract

Modern epidemiology can boast of a precise definition, clearly formulated basic concepts, and well elaborated methods, all of them described elsewhere in this handbook. These are in principle the same in developing and in developed countries. What is different is the framework, the choice of topics and of applications to be treated given local necessities, but also the battery of tools adapted to typical tasks and available under local conditions and the type of difficulties that epidemiologic work is facing.
