Item description from seller

This is a concise and practical handbook for all those who have responsibility for the identification and control of infectious disease. Why buy this book? It is clear and concise - combining science, attention to detail and a practical approach. It covers basic principles of communicable disease control and health protection, major syndromes, control of individual infections, main services and activities, organizational arrangements for all EU countries and sources of further information. All chapters are updated inline with recent changes in epidemiology, new guidelines for control and administrative changes. It features new or expanded chapters on immunization queries, smallpox, SARS, West Nile virus, deliberate release/bioterrorism and on-call response. 'This comprehensive and practical handbook will provide a very accessible source of detailed information for everyone in the field of communicable disease control' - Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer (from the foreword). 'This handbook will be a valuable resource for all those who are interested in control of communicable disease, including public-health physicians, epidemiologists, infection control nurses, microbiologists and those training to work in these related fields' - "The Lancet Infectious Diseases". 'This book fulfills all the needs of a practical handbook, being easy to use and packed with practical information' - "Epidemiology and Infection". 'This would be the first book to reach for in any number of day-to-day or crisis situations in communicable disease control' - "British Journal of Infection Control". 'If you undertake on-call public health duties, just buy the book' - "Journal of Public Health Medicine". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Store description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
