William Farr

Epidemiólogo inglés.Nació en Kenley,Shropshire, 30 de noviembre 1807 - 14 de abril 1883

Afirmaba que las enfermedades son transmitidas a través de sustancias muertas, en la que basa su Teoría Miasmática.

Fue pionero en la recolección datos estadísticos sobre enfermedades y sobre mortalidad.

Es famosa su curva, conocida como la Curva o Campana de Farr (1868), mediante la cual se describe en un curva normal, en forma una campana, que toda epidemia de manera natural tiene un comienzo, un pico de altitud que constituye su moda, y un proceso de declinación hasta su posible desaparición.
