Emerging Epidemics provides a global perspective on the management and prevention of emerging and re–emerging diseases. In addition to covering the diagnosis, therapy, prevention of a variety of individual diseases, the book also examines the social and behavioral issues which can contribute to epidemics. Each chapter focuses on an individual disease and provides scientific background and social history as well as the current basics of infection, epidemiology and control. A focus on specific diseases makes this an invaluable ready reference for clinicians, scholars, and scientists.
