AB The  distribution  of  a  disease  within  a  population  can  be  characterized  by  three  basic  questions:  Who  develops  the  disease?  Where  does  the  disease  occur?  When  does  the  disease  occur?  A  rapid  and  dramatic  increase  in  the  occurrence  of  a  disease  is  referred  to  as  an  epidemic.  Studies  of  migrant  populations  can  be  used  to  help  distinguish  whether  a  disease  is  more  environmentally  or  genetically  determined.
