molecular epidemiology

Although the recognition of molecular epidemiology as an epidemiology subspecialty is relatively recent, laboratory methods have long been used to classify disease and determine exposure in epidemiologic studies. For example, the ability to detect and identify bacteria was essential to the success of studies illuminating the epidemiology of typhoid by Wade Hampton Frost and others, as was the ability to measure blood lipids in the identification of an association between cholesterol and heart disease risk in the Framingham study.
