Sustained attention to the epidemiology of classic and emerging infectious diseases is justified elsewhere in this issue (1) because, despite dazzling progress, infection will remain a major if not the leading cause of human mortality worldwide for the foreseeable future. As the handmaiden of infectious disease epidemiology, the science of microbiology has been educating us for decades about th...
