520 3 # |a This second edition focuses on the epidemiology and control of infectious diseases common in tropical, developing and developed countries. It has 19 chapters. The first chapters (1-4) discuss the theory and control methods with practical help on how to implement them. Chapter 5 presents the different notification and health regulations. Chapters 6-17 describe the different aspects of infectious diseases classified according to transmission: water-washed, faecal-oral, foodborne, soilborne, waterborne, skin contact, airborne, body fluid contact, insectborne and zoonotic diseases. Chapter 18 discusses the new and potential diseases, and Chapter 19 presents a list of infectious diseases. The entire book has been revised and rearranged, and includes new sections on global warming, socioeconomic aspects, recent outbreaks that have emerged since the first edition and others that may become important in the future. This book will prove an essential tool for doctors, epidemiologists and those working in the control of infectious diseases, as well as providing a clear introduction for medical students, public health specialists and those involved in disease control.
