The paper analyzes theoretical generalizations in epidemiology in the period after great bacteriological discoveries. It characterizes the most important theoretical generalizations in the twentieth century and shows the role of Russian scientists in their formulation. The concepts and theoretical generalizations in modern-day epidemiology are presented. Problems are revealed and areas are proposed for further investigations in the theory and practice of epidemiology.
Keywords: genomic and postgenomic technologies, evolution of the epidemic process, discussions, theories and concepts, epidemiology of communicable and noncommunicable diseases
