Authoritative and detailed, yet concise and highly readable, this successful book continues to combine the principles of epidemiology with key fundamental concepts of infectious disease such as infection surveillance and control, incubation periods, seroepidemiology and immunity.

This successful book continues to outline the tools available to the infectious disease student or clinician seeking a thorough background in the epidemiology of infectious and communicable diseases.
