Infectious Diseases: Selected Entries from the Encyclopedia of
Sustainability Science and Technology presents authoritative,
peer-reviewed contributions from leading experts on a wide range of
major infectious diseases of global importance. Infectious diseases
account for more than 17 million deaths each year worldwide. While
modern medicine and technology have diminished the threat of many
of these pathogens in high-income countries, the ever present
threats of re-emerging infections, population mobility, natural
disasters, and pathogen genetic variability are but some of the
reasons for the dynamic threat of this broad category of risks to
human health. An indispensable resource for students and
scientists, the volume also covers some of the new technologies
currently under development for infectious disease prevention,
treatment, and eradication. The greater part of the infectious
disease burden remains in the tropics, where low and middle-income
countries lack the resources, infrastructure, and health systems to
mount or sustain control efforts. Many contributions describe the
efforts of the scientific research community and international
donor agencies to achieve the integrated goals of vigilant
surveillance, improved and cost-effective diagnostics, and
treatment for sustainable disease control.
