Infectious Disease: Pathogenesis, Prevention, and Case Studies Hardcover - 2009 - 1st Edition

by Nandini Shetty; Julian W. Tang; Julie Andrews


From the publisher

Als man begann Infektionskrankheiten zu erforschen, konzentrierte man sich vornehmlich auf die Dokumentation dieser epidemisch auftretender Erkrankungen. Im Verlauf der Jahre hat sich die Forschung grundlegend gewandelt. Heute werden Infektionskrankheiten als dynamisches Phnomen angesehen: Die kologie des Erregers, pathogenetische Ablufe im Wirt, die Entstehung von Reservoirs und Vektoren sowie die komplexen Mechanismen, die zur Ausbreitung von Infektionen fhren und deren Ausma bestimmen, sind Gegenstand der Forschung. Die schnelle Globalisierung hat weltweit zu einem nie da gewesenen Interesse an Infektionskrankheiten und deren Auswirkungen auf komplexe dynamische Ablufe in Bevlkerungsgruppen, wie Migration, Hunger, Naturkatastrophen, Krieg und Terrorismus, gefhrt. Fr das ffentliche Gesundheitswesen ist nun beraus wichtig, die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen von Infektionskrankheiten zu verstehen. Auch Studenten, die sich mit dem Thema befassen, mssen ein breiteres Verstndnis der Folgen von Infektionskrankheiten fr die Bevlkerung entwickeln und wissen, wie sie im Klinikalltag damit umgehen und prventiv ttig werden knnen. Die eindeutige Forderung nach einem integrativen Ansatz hat zur Verffentlichung dieses Werkes gefhrt.

From the rear cover

The study of infectious diseases has undergone major changes since its infancy when it was largely a documentation of epidemics. It has now evolved into a dynamic phenomenon involving the ecology of the infectious agent, pathogenesis in the host, reservoirs and vetors, as well as the complex mechanisms concerned in the spread of infection and the extent to which this spread occurs. Rapid globalization has led to unprecedented interest in infectious diseases worldwide and their effect on complex population dynamics including migration, famine, fire, war, and terrorism. It is now essential for public health officials to understand the basic science behind infectious disease and, likewise, students studying ID must have a broader understanding of the implications of infectious disease in a public health context as well as clinical presentation and prevention. The clear demand for an integrated approach has led to the publication of this text.
