This text looks at changes in the external and internal environment and their consequences on the ecology of various infectious diseases. Although the book is not a treatise on epidemiology, it emphasizes the need for a good epidemiological understanding for effective medical practice.

Drawing attention to the influence of environments on the incidence, aetiology and outcome of infectious diseases, the author explores diseases such as mumps, rubella, influenza, tuberculosis and dermatologic infections around the world. The emphasis throughout is on the effect that global warming may exert on epidemiology world-wide.
