Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways that spread disease. But where does disease come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another? And why are some individuals more susceptible than others? In this Very Short Introduction, Marta Wayne and Benjamin Bolker address these questions through the lenses of ecology and evolution. Assessing the management of outbreaks of diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, cholera, and COVID-19, they provide specific examples to illustrate why major diseases still threaten populations all over the world.

Analysis of Infectious Disease Problems (Covid-19) and Their Global Impact (2024)


Free Download Analysis of Infectious Disease Problems (Covid-19) and Their Global Impact by Praveen Agarwal
English | EPUB | 2021 | 635 Pages | ISBN : 9811624496 | 100.3 MB
This edited volume is a collection of selected research articles discussing the analysis of infectious diseases by using mathematical modelling in recent times. Divided into two parts, the book gives a general and country-wise analysis of Covid-19. Analytical and numerical techniques for virus models are presented along with the application of mathematical modelling in the analysis of their spreading rates and treatments. The book also includes applications of fractional differential equations as well as ordinary, partial and integrodifferential equations with optimization methods. Probability distribution and their bio-mathematical applications have also been studied. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, scholars, biomathematicians and medical experts.

Biology of Infectious Disease


Free Download Biology of Infectious Disease: From Molecules to Ecosystems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031389409 | 315 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 144 MB
This textbook provides a broad introduction to the biological processes underlying infectious diseases in a range of hosts and pathogens. The text covers topics at all levels of biological organization, from the molecular and cellular level, organismal level, and population and ecosystem level, and goes well beyond infectious diseases of humans. The details of how microbes interact with their hosts are unique for each interaction, but emphasis is on the common principles of host-pathogen interactions that result in disease.

The Infectious Diseases Consult Handbook


Free Download The Infectious Diseases Consult Handbook: Common Questions and Answers
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031394739 | 375 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4.3 MB
This book is an evidence-based guide for some of the most common consult questions asked of a first-year infectious diseases (ID) fellow working in an academic teaching hospital. Divided into sections based on pathogen and organ system, each covered topic includes reviews of the latest published literature in succinct subsections that can be easily referenced. The book can be read cover to cover as an introduction to clinical infectious diseases through the eyes of an ID fellow or used as a reference in real-time when on clinical service.

Infectious Diseases along the Silk Roads


Free Download Infectious Diseases along the Silk Roads: The Spread of Parasitoses and Culture Past and Today
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031352742 | 301 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 27 MB
The heart of this volume is exploring the links between human disease spread and the broad Silk Road trading networks which connect Eurasian civilizations past and today. Compiled by an international team of subject authors, this book includes two themed parts. Readers are first introduced into history naming, former, present and future routes of the Silk Road, representing the longest trade way and culture diffuser in the world. The second part contains the main book focus and addresses medical research as well as individual diseases and parasite groups from the region in detail. By drawing an arc between the past and present disease situation, the authors trace how parasites and vectors spread around the globe, and what impact infectious diseases had and will have upon human civilizations.

New Frontiers of Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases


Free Download Serge Morand, François Beaudeau, Jacques Cabaret, "New Frontiers of Molecular Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases"
English | 2011 | pages: 335 | ISBN: 9400721137 | PDF | 7,1 mb
Molecular epidemiology has recently broaden its focuses due to the development of molecular tools but also by incorporating advances of other fields such as mathematical epidemiology, molecular ecology, population genetics and evolution. Facing new risks of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that are threats for humans and their livestock, the objectives of molecular epidemiology include: – the development of molecular tools, genotyping and gene expression – the incorporation of concepts and results of population genetics of infectious diseases – the integration of recent advances in theoretical epidemiology and evolutionary ecology of diseases – a better understanding of transmission for the development of risk factors analyses. This book will demonstrate how the latest developments in molecular tools and in epidemiology can be integrated with studies of host-pathogen interactions. Besides a strong theoretical component, there will also be an emphasis on applications in the fields of epidemiology, public health, veterinary medicine, and health ecology. Students and researchers in the fields of epidemiology, animal and human health, evolutionary ecology, parasitology are the main potential readers of the book, as well as a broader audience from veterinary medicine and conservation.
