    Abstract:
    Applied epidemiology emphasizes the study of the distribution and determinants of disease and health in populations and the application of this study to the control of health problems of immediate public health consequence. Outbreak investigation symbolizes the use and methodology of applied epidemiology for public health. The steps of an outbreak investigation are summarized. Development of a network for applied infectious disease epidemiology involving health departments and other institutions is being built in Germany through epidemiologic training, building communication systems, providing support for outbreak investigation, development of national reference laboratories, and building a comprehensive research program.
