About this ebook
""Infectious Disease Control"" tackles the urgent issue of managing infectious diseases in an era of rising antimicrobial resistance and emerging pathogens. The book underscores the critical role of public health interventions, epidemiology, and microbiology in combating disease transmission. Highlighting the historical context, it traces the evolution of control measures from sanitation to vaccines, while also examining the alarming increase in antimicrobial resistance due to overuse of antibiotics, impacting our ability to treat common infections. Social and economic factors that influence disease susceptibility are also considered. The book uniquely advocates for a multi-faceted approach, emphasizing the need to strengthen surveillance systems, promote responsible antimicrobial use through antimicrobial stewardship, and enhance infection control practices within healthcare settings. By integrating these strategies, the book argues, we can more effectively combat resistant organisms and prepare for future pandemics. Progressing through its chapters, the book first establishes a scientific foundation with core concepts, then explores specific control strategies like vaccination programs, and concludes with a discussion of emerging diseases, pandemic preparedness, and ethical considerations. This resource is designed for public health professionals, healthcare providers, and students, presenting evidence-based strategies and case studies to illustrate best practices. It uniquely emphasizes systems thinking and collaboration across various sectorsâhealthcare, agriculture, educationâto address infectious disease control comprehensively. The approach blends academic rigor with practical application, making it accessible to a broad audience.
