Best Answer

Scientific knowledge about a disease can include information about how the disease is spread (ie. fleas, rats, by contact), statistics of areas where it might increase, and treatment options. Soft sciences that include psychology might help in getting people vaccinated or convincing them to stay home in quarantine to prevent the spread of disease. The recent Ebola outbreak is a good resource for seeing how the UN and local communities handled the large areas that were involved.
