In recent years, Korea has been experiencing a rapid increase in vector-borne diseases. There have been debates on whether this can be explained by real increase of incidence or a result of more sensitive surveillance system. Traditional statistical analysis has failed to give full explanation on the reasons. To clarify this phenomenon with lack of detailed epidemiological data, mathematical transmission models are supposed to help explain and fill the gap. Korea is also expecting possible import of new members to the list with climate change such as dengue fever, West Nile Virus, tropical Malaria, to name a few. KCDC's tactic toward this new trend is feasible and numerical: applying mathematical transmission models to upcoming threat to Korean health and to give tools to health policy makers with visual computer applications. KCDC is supposed to construct a mathematical modeling team for infectious diseases for that purpose.
