“…This intent was successful: In 1965, 85% of the research papers were on infectious diseases (47% on virology and 27% on laboratory studies). By 1989, there were no laboratory papers, and 19% of papers were on infectious diseases ( 3 , 4 ). Since then, the proportion of infectious disease papers in the Journal has hovered around 20%.…”

Technological developments in laboratory and epidemiology methods combined with increasing computing power have synergistically increased our understanding of the epidemiology of infectious disease. Using historic examples from the first 100 years of AJE to illustrate how these developments provided the foundation for the rapid detection of the agent causing COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, from its transmission efficiency and modalities, risk factors and natural history to the evaluation of new vaccines and treatments to control its spread and impact. Comparisons with timelines for elucidation of the epidemiology, natural history and control of other infectious diseases including viral hepatitis humbly reminds us of how much past discoveries have paved the way for more rapid discovery and response to new pathogens.

On this, the 100th anniversary of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, we take the opportunity to reflect on the ties between the School, the American Journal of Epidemiology, and the Society for Epidemiologic Research. We discuss briefly the intersection of the School, the Journal, and the Society throughout their histories, with the aim of providing some insight into how the Journal and the Society have contributed to the evolution of the field. In so doing, we articulate the challenges that the Journal and the Society jointly face today, with an eye to finding opportunities in these challenges that can be helpful in coming decades.
