Modern Methodologies

Soporte

Discover how the application of novel multidisciplinary,
integrative approaches and technologies are dramatically changing
our understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious diseases and
their treatments. Each article presents the state of the science,
with a strong emphasis on new and emerging medical applications.
The Encyclopedia of Infectious Diseases is organized into
five parts. The first part examines current threats such as AIDS,
malaria, SARS, and influenza. The second part addresses the
evolution of pathogens and the relationship between human genetic
diversity and the spread of infectious diseases. The next two parts
highlight the most promising uses of molecular identification,
vector control, satellite detection, surveillance, modeling, and
high-throughput technologies. The final part explores specialized
topics of current concern, including bioterrorism, world market and
infectious diseases, and antibiotics for public health.
Each article is written by one or more leading experts in the
field of infectious diseases. These experts place all the latest
findings from various disciplines in context, helping readers
understand what is currently known, what the next generation of
breakthroughs is likely to be, and where more research is needed.
Several features facilitate research and deepen readers’
understanding of infectious diseases:
* Illustrations help readers understand the pathogenesis and
diagnosis of infectious diseases
* Lists of Web resources serve as a gateway to important research
centers, government agencies, and other sources of information from
around the world
* Information boxes highlight basic principles and specialized
terminology
* International contributions offer perspectives on how infectious
diseases are viewed by different cultures
* A special chapter discusses the representation of infectious
diseases in art
With its multidisciplinary approach, this encyclopedia helps
point researchers in new promising directions and helps health
professionals better understand the nature and treatment of
infectious diseases.
