This module we will begin with an overview of the course. To consider strategies for global disease control, as a case study, we will cover the basics of the poliovirus and polio eradication — the reason we are doing this is that understanding the characteristics of a disease may affect your management strategies. This information will be useful as we get into planning and management strategies in the coming weeks.
