Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Theory and Practice

Infectious Disease Epidemiology has long been recognized as the most authoritative examination of the epidemiology of infectious disease. The text is divided into five sections: methods in infectious disease epidemiology, airborne transmission, diarrheal diseases, blood and body fluids as reservoirs of infectious disease, and vector-borne and parasite diseases. The most comprehensive and definitive text of its kind, Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Theory and Practice, Third Edition includes reviews of virtually every known infectious disease.

The full revised and updated Third Edition includes up-to-the-minute, sate-of-the-art chapters on methodological issues, infectious disease eradication, pneumococcal disease, and pathogenesis. All chapters have been revised to reflect the most recent information available, including new information on malaria, HIV/AIDS, STDs, emerging infections, hepatitis, and useful models of behavioral change. Students will learn how to develop effective prevention strategies as well as how to apply new problem-solving skills, and more experienced learners will find the text an invaluable resource for study and exploration.
