Résumé :
|
This volume presents a historical perspective on infectious disease and discusses how 'new' diseases such as HIV and AIDS arise and how 'old' diseases such as tuberculosis resurge. The book highlights risk factors for the emergence of microbial threats to health, warns against complacency in public heath, and promotes early prevention as a cost-effective and crucial strategy for maintaining public health in the United States and worldwide.
