This fourth edition of "Communicable Disease Epidemiology and Control" is fully updated throughout and includes new chapters on integrated disease management and the increased risks of disease among pregnant women. The latest research on the control of communicable diseases is included, assisting in identifying the best method of control. An essential resource for students and lecturers in public health and medical sciences, this book will also assist doctors and health workers in their management of this fast-changing area. It is suitable for students and lecturers in public health and medical sciences, doctors and health workers.
