Infectious Disease Epidemiology has long been recognized as the most authoritative review of the epidemiology of infectious disease. Divided into five sections that cover methods in infectious disease epidemiology, airborne transmission, hygiene and infectious disease transmission, blood and body fluids as reservoirs of infectious disease, and vector-borne diseases, this book features state-of-the-art chapters on methodological issues, pathogenesis, and comprehensive reviews of virtually every known infectious disease. Now in a new Fourth Edition, Nelson & Williams’ Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Theory and Practice maintains its 5-part organization and majority of chapters from the prior edition, while enhancing the book with new chapters, full color design, and content reflecting the latest updates in the field of epidemiology.
