Produktbeschreibung

Authoritative yet highly practical, this 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 who wishes to gain a thorough background in epidemiology of infectious and communicable diseases. Using many case studies and practical scenarios, 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. This highly popular book, praised for its clarity and highly readable text, is a unique work of synthesis combining a detailed, yet down to earth account of theoretical epidemiology and statistical tools and method, with the principles of infectious disease. All students of epidemiology, infectious disease medicine and microbiology will find this text invaluable ensuring its continued popularity.
