Community
immunology
Similar to classical immunology being the study of those
factors within the (human) organism that enhance or
threaten susceptibility to pathogens, we can now define
"Community immunology" as:
The
science and art to identify and modify factors in social
environments that are pathogenic and/or salutogenic.
Community immunology is thus particularly interested in the
study of social determinants of health, and in developing
methods and strategies to modify such determinants for the
benefit of social health.
