商品描述

Comprehensive yet succinct insight into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases including COVID-19, mpox, Ebola, and Lyme disease

Rising Contagious Diseases provides basic information about preventing and treating threatening infectious diseases from viral, bacterial, and parasitic sources, including 28 emerging or recurring diseases like COVID-19, mpox, Ebola, bird and swine flu, malaria, Legionnaires', and others. The text highlights molecular surveillance and epidemiology (including zoonotic pathogens or their variants), innovative strategies for pathogen detection, drug and vaccine development, appropriate preventive measures, cost-effective diagnostic procedures (assays), and effective therapeutic strategies.

The text is unique due to its broad coverage of today's infectious diseases, covering several which are not similarly addressed elsewhere, with detailed insight from experts around the world.

Composed of 30 chapters of fundamental facts alongside practical and clinical data, Rising Contagious Diseases covers sample topics such as:

  • Re-emergence of certain diseases in recent decades due to dynamic host-pathogen interactions, anthropogenic selection, and climate change
  • How real-time epidemiological surveillance can improve detection of infectious disease outbreaks or new infections of public health importance
  • Up-to-date insight on transmission dynamics, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, advances in diagnostics, and management of covered diseases
  • Effects of disease outbreaks on the world at large, such as through high morbidity and mortality rates and rising healthcare costs

With detailed insight on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, Rising Contagious Diseases is an essential reference for health care professionals, academics in the field of microbiology, immunology, infectious diseases, pathology, pharmacology and public health, and undergraduates and postgraduates in related disciplines.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《崛起的傳染病》是一本全面而簡潔地介紹預防、診斷和治療傳染病的書籍,包括COVID-19、天花、伊波拉和萊姆病等。本書提供了有關預防和治療來自病毒、細菌和寄生蟲的威脅性傳染病的基本信息,包括28種新興或復發性疾病,如COVID-19、天花、伊波拉、禽流感、豬流感、瘧疾、军团菌病等。本書強調分子監測和流行病學(包括人畜共患病原體或其變異株)、病原體檢測的創新策略、藥物和疫苗的開發、適當的預防措施、具有成本效益的診斷程序(測試)以及有效的治療策略。

本書之所以獨特,是因為它廣泛涵蓋了當今的傳染病,包括其他書籍未涉及的疾病,並提供了來自世界各地專家的詳細見解。

《崛起的傳染病》由30章基本事實和實用的臨床數據組成,涵蓋了以下主題:

- 近幾十年來某些疾病的重新出現,原因包括動態的宿主-病原體相互作用、人為選擇和氣候變化。
- 實時流行病學監測如何改善對具有公共衛生重要性的傳染病爆發或新感染的檢測。
- 有關涵蓋疾病的傳播動力學、流行病學、臨床表現、診斷進展和治療的最新見解。
- 疾病爆發對全球的影響,例如高發病率和死亡率以及不斷上升的醫療保健成本。

《崛起的傳染病》提供了對傳染病的預防、診斷和治療的詳細見解,是醫療保健專業人士、微生物學、免疫學、傳染病學、病理學、藥理學和公共衛生領域的學者,以及相關學科的本科生和研究生的必備參考資料。
