Beschreibung

Highly practical yet authoritative, the new edition of Modern Infectious Disease Epidemiology has been thoroughly updated and revised in line with changing health concerns. This successful book continues to outline the tools available to the infectious disease student or clinician seeking a thorough background in the epidemiology of infectious and communicable diseases. Building on many case studies and practical scenarios included, the book then uses the tools learnt to illustrate the fundamental concepts of the study of infectious diseases, such as infection spread, surveillance and control, infectivity, incubation periods, seroepidemiology, and immunity in populations.

New edition of this popular book, completely revised and updated

Retains the clarity and down-to-earth approach praised in previous editions

Successfully combines epidemiological theory with the principles of infectious disease treatment and control

A highly experienced author brings a personal and unique approach to this important subject

All students of epidemiology, infectious disease medicine and microbiology will find this text invaluable, ensuring its continued popularity.
