- A practical guide which provides a thorough understanding of basic the concepts of epidemiology
- Comprehensive account of the methodologies of infectious disease epidemiology discussed in order of increasing complexity, ranging from a general introduction, to subjects including mathematical modelling and sero-epidemiology
- Addresses all major infectious diseases that are of global significance, either due to their current burden or potential for causing morbidity and mortality, grouped based on the route of transmission
Infectious Disease Epidemiology is a concise reference guide which provides trainees and practicing epidemiologists with the information that they need to understand the basic concepts necessary for working in this specialist area.
Divided into two sections, part one comprehensively covers the basic principles and methods relevant to the study of infectious disease epidemiology. It is organised in order of increasing complexity, ranging from a general introduction to subjects such as mathematical modelling and sero-epidemiology.
Part two examines key major infectious diseases that are of global significance. Grouped by their route of transmission for ease of reference, they include diseases that present a particular burden or a high potential for causing mortality.
This practical guide will be essential reading for postgraduate students in infectious disease epidemiology, health protection trainees, and practicing epidemiologists.
