Modeling Disease Transmission and Its Prevention By Disinfection

Klappentext Describes how disease agents are transmitted and the methods by which their spread is prevented. Zusammenfassung Pathogenic microorganisms exploit a number of different routes for transmission and this book demonstrates how the spread of disease can be prevented through the practices of disinfection and controlling microbial growth.
