Ce livre s'adresse en particulier au médecin de famille soucieux d’améliorer ses connaissances dans la prise en charge des principales zoonoses et des maladies parasitaires qu’il rencontre dans sa pratique de proximité. Certes, en cas de difficulté, le recours à une unité spécialisée est toujours possible mais l’offre médicale hors Covid est aujourd’hui problématique. Ce livre est une source d’informations scientifiques précises et cohérentes, s’articulant sur un modèle simple : le lieu d’émergence des infections. Celles-ci sont classées en deux grands groupes : les maladies importées et les maladies cosmopolites. L’ouvrage est aussi une référence pour tout professionnel de la santé engagé dans des activités pluridisciplinaires, à l’interface des sciences humaines et animales.

The first complete guide to the quantitative assessment of risks to humans posed by infectious agents in all environmental media.Recent highly-publicized infectious disease outbreaks in the United States and abroad have engendered mounting political pressure to require the use of quantitative techniques in the assessment of the risks of human exposure to an array of microorganisms. While traditional indicator methods for pathogen assessment and control have always left much to be desired, it is only with the advent of modern microbial methods that it is now possible to establish rigorous testing protocols for infectious agents comparable to those in place for chemical agents and other contaminants. A book whose time has come, Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment equips environmental and public health professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to comply with the rapidly growing demand for quantitative risk testing of infectious agents.Authored by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the fields of environmental engineering, marine science, and soil and water science, this is the first comprehensive guide to state-of-the-art quantitative microbial risk assessment methods. It provides you with:* Exhaustive coverage of potential infectious agents and their modes of transmission.* Systematic presentations of quantitative risk, hazard, and exposure assessment techniques.* Numerous worked examples throughout the book.* Fascinating case studies illustrating the application of quantitative methods to various situations.Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment is an important working resource for professionals in the fields of environmental health, environmental engineering, public health, and microbiology. It is also an excellent graduate-level text for students of those disciplines.

The 1918-19 influenza epidemic killed more than fifty million people worldwide. The SARS epidemic of 2002-3, by comparison, killed fewer than a thousand. The success in containing the spread of SARS was due largely to the rapid global response of public health authorities, which was aided by insights resulting from mathematical models. Models enabled authorities to better understand how the disease spread and to assess the relative effectiveness of different control strategies. In this book, Lisa Sattenspiel and Alun Lloyd provide a comprehensive introduction to mathematical models in epidemiology and show how they can be used to predict and control the geographic spread of major infectious diseases. Key concepts in infectious disease modeling are explained, readers are guided from simple mathematical models to more complex ones, and the strengths and weaknesses of these models are explored. The book highlights the breadth of techniques available to modelers today, such as population-based and individual-based models, and covers specific applications as well. Sattenspiel and Lloyd examine the powerful mathematical models that health authorities have developed to understand the spatial distribution and geographic spread of influenza, measles, foot-and-mouth disease, and SARS. Analytic methods geographers use to study human infectious diseases and the dynamics of epidemics are also discussed. A must-read for students, researchers, and practitioners, no other book provides such an accessible introduction to this exciting and fast-evolving field.

Quatrième de couverture : "Zika, grippe A/H1N1, chikungunya, SRAS, Ebola... En ce début de XXIe siècle, nous sommes frappés de plein fouet par l'émergence ou la réémergence de nombreuses maladies infectieuses. Si certaines sont totalement nouvelles, d'autres apparaissent dans des zones où on ne les attendait pas ou ressurgissent du passé ! Comment expliquer ce phénomène ? Notre mode de vie moderne y est-il pour quelque chose ? A la lumière des grandes épidémies qu'a dû affronter l'humanité jusqu'ici, à quels scénarios faut-il se préparer pour les années à venir ? Sur quelles armes peut-on compter pour nous protéger ? Vaccins, antiviraux, antibiotiques : où en est la recherche ? Autant de questions très concrètes auxquelles cet ouvrage apporte des réponses claires, validées par des infectiologues reconnus, le tout dans un style vivant et accessible à tous. De quoi prendre un peu de hauteur sur ces virus et autres bactéries émergents qui n'ont pas fini de faire la une des journaux ni d'inspirer les scénaristes. Mais si elles suscitent la peur, ces maladies en plein essor engendrent aussi de formidables épopées médicales et scientifiques pour tenter d'en venir à bout. Alors, prêts à plonger au coeur de la bataille du siècle ?"
