A global perspective on the management and prevention of emerging and re-emerging diseasesEmerging infectious diseases are newly identified or otherwise previously unknown infections that cause public health challenges. Re-emerging infectious diseases are due to both the reappearance of and an increase in the number of infections from a disease that is known, but which had formerly caused so few infections that it was no longer considered a public health problem. The factors that cause the emergence or re-emergence of a disease are diverse. This book takes a look at the world's emerging and re-emerging diseases. It covers the diagnosis, therapy, prevention, and control of a variety of individual diseases, and examines the social and behavioral issues that could contribute to epidemics. Each chapter focuses on an individual disease and provides scientific background and social history as well as the current basics of infection, epidemiology, and control. Emerging Epidemics: Management and Control offers five topics of coverage: FUNDAMENTALSEpidemics fundamentalsDisasters and epidemicsBiosafetyRE-EMERGING EPIDEMICSTuberculosisPlagueNEWLY EMERGING EPIDEMICSLeptospirosisDengueJapanese EncephalitisChikungunya FeverWest Nile VirusChandipura Virus EncephalitisKyasanur Forest DiseaseHantavirusHuman, Avian, and Swine InfluenzaSevere Acute Respiratory SyndromeNipah VirusParagonimiasisMelioidosisPOTENTIAL EPIDEMICSBiowarfare and bioterrorismFood contamination and food terrorismAntimicrobial resistanceVECTOR CONTROL METHODSMosquito controlOther disease vectors and their controlOffering an integrated, worldwide overview of the complexity of the epidemiology of infections, Emerging Epidemics will be a valuable resource for students, physicians, and scientists working in veterinary, medical, and the pharmaceutical sciences.Content: Chapter 1 Prologue (pages 1–23): Chapter 2 Epidemics Fundamentals (pages 24–45): Chapter 3 Disasters and Epidemics (pages 46–55): Chapter 4 Biosafety (pages 56–75): Chapter 5 Tuberculosis (pages 76–153): Chapter 6 Plague (pages 154–175): Chapter 7 Leptospirosis (pages 176–219): Chapter 8 Dengue (pages 220–262): Chapter 9 Japanese Encephalitis (pages 263–282): Chapter 10 Chikungunya Fever (pages 283–315): Chapter 11 West Nile Fever (pages 316–339): Chapter 12 Chandipura Virus Encephalitis (pages 340–360): Chapter 13 Kyasanur Forest Disease (pages 361–374): Chapter 14 Hantavirus Disease (pages 375–399): Chapter 15 Influenza (pages 400–454): Chapter 16 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (pages 455–461): Chapter 17 Nipah Virus (pages 462–469): Chapter 18 Paragonimiasis (pages 470–491): Chapter 19 Melioidosis (pages 492–512): Chapter 20 Biowarfare and Bioterrorism (pages 513–584): Chapter 21 Antimicrobial Resistance (pages 585–614): Chapter 22 Conventional Methods for Mosquito Control (pages 615–634): Chapter 23 New and Potential Techniques (pages 635–650): Chapter 24 Other Disease Vectors and Their Control (pages 651–673):
