1.
Active surveillance
2.
Christiaan Eijkman
3.
Case-control groups people based on whether they contracted the disease and then works back to find the exposure. Retrospective cohort groups people based on exposures and checks whether they got the disease.

Mostly correct :D but #2 - Christiaan Eijkman? I was looking for TK Takaki, but C.E. conducted a study on chickedns - but didn't figure out the cause of the outbreak, which is what TKT did. In the tests ive seen its usually tkt but, idk. Ehh i should have ben more clear. GJ :)))

2. What does a propagated style epi curve indicate.
3. What foodborne illness causes the symptom "traveler's diarrhea".
