Synopsis

Communicable diseases are major global health concerns that can devastate whole populations. This revised and updated textbook examines communicable diseases at the community level from an epidemiological perspective, covering both theory and practice in a systematic and globally comprehensive overview of communicable diseases and their control. It includes expanded coverage of epidemiology and clinical aspects, many summary tables and coverage of both developed and developing countries from tuberculosis and malaria to bioterrorism and hospital infections, drawing on the author's personal experience of working in many global locations.

Review:

Praise for the previous edition: "This book is detailed and accessible enough to provide substantial information for students of nursing, medicine or communicable disease control. It could also be useful for qualified healthcare personnel seeking a ready and succinct 'refresher' source of information on communicable diseases. However, it will best serve as a manual for those dealing 'hands on' with communicable diseases. In my opinion the author should be commended for distilling so much information into such a compact package."

"Webber's experience as a public health practitioner in developing countries is what sets this book apart. He understands the burden faced in these regions, and the limited time, knowledge and resources available for intervention. Therefore, in my opinion, it deserves a place on the desk and in the field kits of practitioners and students of public health, epidemiology and others at the frontline of disease control."
