Infectious Diseases

The second edition of this concise and practical guide describes infections in geographical areas and provides information on disease risk, concomitant infections (such as co-prevalence of HIV and tuberculosis) and emerging bacterial, viral and parasitic infections in a given geographical area of the world.

* Covers the major infectious disease outbreaks framed in their geographic setting such as H7N9 bird flu influenza, H1N1, Ebola, and Zika
