Book Synopsis Fighting Infectious Diseases by : Justin Healey
Download or read book Fighting Infectious Diseases written by Justin Healey and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infectious, or communicable, diseases are a major global health concern. Managing and preventing the spread of diseases takes a concerted public health effort to deal with deadly outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics. What are the various ways in which infectious diseases are spread? How much of a threat are emerging infections such as Ebola, SARS and the Zika virus to large populations of people? And how much of a concern is the growth in antimicrobial resistance to drugs, such as antibiotics, which are routinely used to treat infection? The World Health Organization estimates that vaccines prevent 2-3 million deaths every year; how effective has immunisation been in Australia at containing and eradicating vaccine-preventable diseases? What are the myths and facts regarding the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, and why do some misconceptions among immunisation objectors persist? This book reveals the global trends and challenges in the fight against the major types of infectious disease, and looks at vaccine-preventable diseases and immunisation in Australia. Are we doing enough to win the ongoing fight against infectious diseases?

Book Synopsis Fighting Infection in the 21st Century by : P. W. Andrew
Download or read book Fighting Infection in the 21st Century written by P. W. Andrew and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 20th century has seen improvements in both public health and disease prevention which, in turn, have had a dramatic impact on our lives. Success in preventing infection by vaccination and treating infection with antibiotics led some to believe that infectious disease was a thing of the past. However, the adaptability of pathogens and the emergence of new diseases has presented microbiologists with a fresh set of challenges as we enter the new millennium. While celebrating past successes and highlighting developing problems, this volume aims to address some of the issues facing microbiologists in the future. Covering a wide range of topics, it will provide an invaluable resource for microbiologists and an excellent reference for advanced students.
Book Synopsis Epidemics and Pandemics by : Justin Healey
Download or read book Epidemics and Pandemics written by Justin Healey and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastating, widespread experience of COVID-19 has captured the world¿s attention this year, however epidemics and pandemics are not a new phenomenon. Throughout history, civilisation has endured a number of major infectious disease outbreaks. The novel coronavirus continues its spread, infecting and killing millions of people ¿ with no vaccine currently in sight. What can we learn from major pandemics of the past like the Black Plague, Spanish flu, Asian flu, Hong Kong flu and swine flu, as well as the ongoing global blight of HIV/AIDs? Infectious diseases, such as seasonal influenza, are more than simply public health issues; they can also have major social impacts, change economies and even alter the course of history. This book explores the health, economic and social challenges presented by the major types of infectious disease, viewed in the context of the continuing fight against the coronavirus. It compares Australia with other developed countries in relation to the effectiveness of their responses to COVID-19 through social distancing, lockdowns and other infection control measures, and also explores how vaccine-preventable disease epidemics are being successfully managed in Australia. How do we learn the lessons of history, overcome the current pandemic, and better prepare for the next deadly mass outbreak?

Book Synopsis Treating Infectious Diseases in a Microbial World by : National Research Council
Download or read book Treating Infectious Diseases in a Microbial World written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans coexist with millions of harmless microorganisms, but emerging diseases, resistance to antibiotics, and the threat of bioterrorism are forcing scientists to look for new ways to confront the microbes that do pose a danger. This report identifies innovative approaches to the development of antimicrobial drugs and vaccines based on a greater understanding of how the human immune system interacts with both good and bad microbes. The report concludes that the development of a single superdrug to fight all infectious agents is unrealistic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The perfect gift for the armchair epidemiologist’ Wall Street Journal Nature wants you dead. Not just you, but your children and everyone you have ever met and everyone they have ever met; in fact, everyone. It wants you to cough and sneeze and poop yourself into an early grave. It wants your blood vessels to burst and pustules to explode all over your body. And – until recently – it was really good at doing this… The subject of infection and how to fight it grows more urgent every day. How do pathogens cause disease? And what tools can we give our bodies to do battle? Infectious is not only a vital overview of what goes awry in our bodies, but also a hopeful story of ongoing human ingenuity.
Book Synopsis Fighting Campylobacter Infections by : Steffen Backert
Download or read book Fighting Campylobacter Infections written by Steffen Backert and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores Campylobacter species, which are some of the most important foodborne pathogens. Above all, contaminated poultry meat can cause human gastroenteritis in both developed and developing countries. The respective contributions reveal how these infections can also increase the risk of generalized paralytic diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Miller-Fisher syndrome, and Chinese paralytic syndrome. Due to their influence on the nervous system, circulatory system, and various organs, Campylobacter infections represent a serious public health concern. Campylobacter can be effectively combated by addressing the hygienic conditions in both food production and human lifestyles. Accordingly, the authors put forward a One Health perspective, which provides readers with essential insights into the basic biology of Campylobacter, as well as practical guidance on aspects ranging from food production to the clinical treatment of infections. Chapters 'Population Biology and Comparative Genomics of Campylobacter Species' and 'Natural Competence and Horizontal Gene Transfer in Campylobacter' are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Book Synopsis Outbreaks and Epidemics by : Meera Senthilingam
Download or read book Outbreaks and Epidemics written by Meera Senthilingam and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A book that couldn't be more timely, providing an accessible introduction to epidemiology.' Kirkus A compelling and disquieting journey through the history and science of epidemics. For centuries mankind has waged war against the infections that, left untreated, would have the power to wipe out communities, or even entire populations. Yet for all our advanced scientific knowledge, only one human disease - smallpox - has ever been eradicated globally. In recent years, outbreaks of Ebola and Zika have provided vivid examples of how difficult it is to contain an infection once it strikes, and the panic that a rapidly spreading epidemic can ignite. But while we chase the diseases we are already aware of, new ones are constantly emerging, like the coronavirus that spread across the world in 2020. At the same time, antimicrobial resistance is harnessing infections that we once knew how to control, enabling them to thrive once more. Meera Senthilingam presents a timely look at humanity's ongoing battle against infection, examining the successes and failures of the past, along with how we are confronting the challenges of today, and our chances of eradicating disease in the future.
