Rising Contagious Diseases - Basics, Management, and Treatments

Informationen zum Autor Seth Kwabena Amponsah, MPhil, PhD is Head of the Department of Medical Pharmacology, University of Ghana Medical School, Accra, Ghana. He has published over 40 research articles, three book chapters, and edited a book. Ranjita Shegokar, PhD, MBA is Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) at Capnopharm GmbH, Tuebingen, Germany. She has authored several research articles and book chapters. Yashwant V. Pathak, PhD is Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs at College of Pharmacy, University of South Florida, Florida, USA. Klappentext Comprehensive yet succinct insight into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases including COVID-19, mpox, Ebola, and Lyme disease Rising Contagious Diseases provides basic information about preventing and treating threatening infectious diseases from viral, bacterial, and parasitic sources, including 28 emerging or recurring diseases like COVID-19, mpox, Ebola, bird and swine flu, malaria, Legionnaires', and others. The text highlights molecular surveillance and epidemiology (including zoonotic pathogens or their variants), innovative strategies for pathogen detection, drug and vaccine development, appropriate preventive measures, cost-effective diagnostic procedures (assays), and effective therapeutic strategies. The text is unique due to its broad coverage of today's infectious diseases, covering several which are not similarly addressed elsewhere, with detailed insight from experts around the world. Composed of 30 chapters of fundamental facts alongside practical and clinical data, Rising Contagious Diseases covers sample topics such as: Re-emergence of certain diseases in recent decades due to dynamic host-pathogen interactions, anthropogenic selection, and climate change How real-time epidemiological surveillance can improve detection of infectious disease outbreaks or new infections of public health importance Up-to-date insight on transmission dynamics, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, advances in diagnostics, and management of covered diseases Effects of disease outbreaks on the world at large, such as through high morbidity and mortality rates and rising healthcare costs With detailed insight on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, Rising Contagious Diseases is an essential reference for health care professionals, academics in the field of microbiology, immunology, infectious diseases, pathology, pharmacology and public health, and undergraduates and postgraduates in related disciplines.
