Epidemiologists are reformulating their classical approaches to diseases by considering various issues associated "omics" areas and technologies. Traditional differences between epidemiology genetics include background, training, terminologies, study designs others. Public health increasingly looking forward using methodologies informatics tools, facilitated the Bioinformatics community, for managing genomic information. Our aim is describe which most important implications related with increasing use of information public practice, research education. To review contribution bioinformatics these issues, in terms providing methods tools needed processing genetic from pathogens patients. analyze challenges biomedical need integration clinical, environmental data new scenarios arisen health.Review literature, Internet resources material reports generated internal external projects.New developments advance interactions agents factors involved development diseases. The biomarkers, biobanks, integrated genomic/clinical databases poses serious informaticians order extract useful knowledge health, healthcare.From an perspective, medical/biological ontologies semantic-based models provide such as disciplines, among In this regard, there ethical, privacy, informed consent social implications, that should be carefully addressed researchers, practitioners policy makers.
