商品描述

This volume on Infectious Diseases in an Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology (ESST) addresses the needs of health care providers and policy makers as well as scientists and engineers. Most of chapters in this volume deal with infectious diseases that directly affect humans, including the detailed characterization of specific pathogens, how they reproduce, how they are transmitted, and the means available to control, eliminate, or eradicate them.

In this revised and updated second edition, the number of human infectious diseases covered has been significantly expanded. Other new chapters deal with current leading edge technologies for the diagnosis of pathogens; surveillance including environmental and syndromic surveillance for pathogens; requirements for quality assurance, quality control and the need for biological standards and controls to sustain high quality diagnosis and surveillance; the use of big data for personalized medicine; modeling infectious diseases; zoonotic and vector borne diseases; disease prevention with antibiotics, antivirals and vaccines; and factors that affect ecological balances leading to emergence of new diseases such as climate change and deforestation. Finally, infectious diseases that affect livestock and culture of plants for food, comfort and beauty are also addressed, since we must also consider them when discussing sustainability of humans in our ecosystem.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷關於《傳染病》的內容收錄於《可持續科學與技術百科全書》(Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, ESST),旨在滿足醫療提供者、政策制定者以及科學家和工程師的需求。本卷中的大多數章節探討直接影響人類的傳染病,包括特定病原體的詳細特徵、它們的繁殖方式、傳播途徑,以及可用於控制、消除或根除這些病原體的方法。

在這一修訂和更新的第二版中,涵蓋的人類傳染病數量已顯著擴展。其他新章節探討了當前診斷病原體的前沿技術;包括環境監測和綜合症監測的病原體監測;質量保證、質量控制的要求,以及維持高質量診斷和監測所需的生物標準和控制;利用大數據進行個性化醫療;傳染病建模;人畜共通病和媒介傳播疾病;使用抗生素、抗病毒藥物和疫苗進行疾病預防;以及影響生態平衡的因素,這些因素導致新疾病的出現,如氣候變遷和森林砍伐。最後,還探討了影響家畜和植物文化(用於食物、舒適和美觀)的傳染病,因為在討論人類在生態系統中的可持續性時,我們也必須考慮這些因素。

作者簡介

Assoc. Prof. Lester M. Shulman, (BSc, Yale University; MA, Brandeis University; PhD Weizmann Institute of Science) conducted basic research on anti-viral and anti-cancer activities of cytokines at the Weizmann Institute of Science (1984 -1989), investigated causes of acute renal failure as Head of the Nephrology Laboratory at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel( 1990-1993), and then studied molecular epidemiology of viruses at the Israeli Public Health Services Central Virology Laboratory at the Sheba Medical Center where he headed the Environmental Virology Laboratory and the Israel National Center for Viral Gastroenteritis (1993-2015). His main interest included the study of the molecular biology of enteric viruses and Waste Water Based Epidemiology. As a leading researcher in the field, he participated in international meetings establishing WHO standard guidelines for environmental surveillance for poliovirus.
