Synopsis

This book provides a foundation of infectious disease and immunity to infectious disease. Starting with the basics of infection, the author focuses on germs and their propagation, discussing contagion, immunity and disinfection. The book advances by examining specific infectious diseases, including bubonic plague, cholera, typhoid fever, malaria, smallpox and many others. The author analyzes the pathology of each disease, its method of infection and methods of containment; the most effective methods of treatment are also examined. The final chapters focus on the methods of research and treatments discovered in the 20th century. The book concludes with the author's thoughts on the future of disease management through research, early detection, and vaccination programs. This volume by the author remains an invaluable resource for students of public health and an informative read for individuals interested in the history and present practice of managing infectious diseases.
