A comprehensive yet synoptic account of diseases and their modes of transmission, this book covers epidemiology, control strategies, notifications and regulations, as well as giving an overview of the major diseases - established, new and emerging. It includes clear diagrams, bullet points and tables to aid learning, and an integrated eBook.

Diseases have played a major role in making us human and probably determine the way we run our lives. History is full of the great epidemics of plague, smallpox and anthrax, but we survived because of our genetic variation and immune system. Disease continues to have a profound effect, setting the course of the world just as much as nature has.
