Despite numerous scientific investigations on vector-borne human infections such as malaria, filariasis, Lyme disease and typhus, these diseases continue to threaten human health. Understanding the role of vectors in disease transmission, and the most appropriate control strategies, is therefore essential. This book provides information on the recognition, biology, ecology and medical importance of the arthropods that affect human health. The fifth edition of this popular textbook is completely updated, and incorporates the latest strategies for controlling insects, ticks and mites. Numerous illustrations, with new colour photographs of some of the most important vectors, aid recognition. A glossary of entomological and epidemiological terms is included, along with a list of commonly used insecticides and their trade names. Clearly presented in a concise style, this text is aimed at students of medical entomology, tropical medicine, parasitology and pest control. It is also essential reading for physicians, health officials and community health workers.

* Includes worked examples, together with exercises based on real data and real-life problems* Contains a glossary of key definitions and abbreviations* Accessible to the majority of readers as it does not assume advanced mathematical skills* Accompanied by online files and solutions to exercisesMathematical models are increasingly being used to examine questions in infectious disease control. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infections and determining optimal control strategies against HIV and pandemic influenza.This book introduces individuals interested in infectious diseases to this exciting and expanding area. The mathematical level of the book is kept as simple as possible, which makes the book accessible to those who have not studied mathematics to university level. Understanding is further enhanced by models that can be accessed online, which will allow readers to explore the impact of different factors and control strategies, and further adapt and develop the models themselves.The book is based on successful courses developed by the authors at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It will be of interest to epidemiologists, public health researchers, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical statisticians and infectious disease researchers.

An extraordinary array of infectious agents affects humans; from worms, arthopods, and fungi to bacteria, viruses, and prions. In this compendium of the curious and fascinating organisms that cause disease, including Legionnaire's disease, mumps, CJD, and chlamydia, David I. Grove provides a lively, fact-filled account of the nature of each organism, their life cycle, the ingenious ways in which they infect humans, and the human stories behind their discovery.

Quatrième de couverture : "Comment de nouvelles maladies infectieuses apparaissent-elles ? Pourquoi certains antibiotiques cessent-ils d'être efficaces ? Quels impacts peuvent avoir les changements de mode de vie ou les politiques de santé publique sur la virulence des agents pathogènes ? La pandémie du nouveau coronavirus humain, après celles du VIH ou de bactéries multi-résistantes, illustre de manière éclatante l'importance et la rapidité de l'évolution des microbes. A l'approche pasteurienne, qui décortique les mécanismes cellulaires pour apporter des réponses au niveau individuel, il est nécessaire d'associer une approche darwinienne qui étudie la dynamique des populations au sein de leurs environnements : seule une démarche intégrant les deux approches permettra de maîtriser les agents infectieux et de trouver des traitements tant originaux que durables."

The increase of immigrant population in developed countries (mainly in Europe and North America) together with an important increase of international travel worldwide are the two most important causes that have contributed to the introduction and diagnosis of imported/tropical infectious diseases in these countries. These factors have had an important impact in developed countries in both social and economic aspects. Imported Infectious Diseases focuses not only on describing the infections, but also in evaluating the current epidemiology, the economic and social impact and the possibility to
