Welcome to Disease Detective!

Throughout the world, disease is spreading. The avian flu continues to grow stronger, and new, deadlier versions of other diseases are coming out of nowhere! As humanity is confronted by these threats, who will shield us from our impending doom?

Enter the "Disease Detectives", or epidemiologists. Epidemiologists are an elite force bent on eradicating man's most vicious yet invisible enemy case by case...

...disease.

Their weapons? Evidence, data to solve the cases, and their scientific knowledge, all to destroy the bane of our very existence, the diseases.

However, epidemiologists are a mysterious bunch. This website's mission is to crack that mystery and show the world the power of EPIDEMIOLOGY. The visitors to our website can play Role Playing Games (RPG) to experience the job of an epidemiologist.
