Description
Infectious Disease: A Very Short Introduction by Marta L. Wayne and Benjamin M. Bolker explores the complex world of disease transmission and its impact on populations. The authors examine how new diseases emerge, old ones evolve, and ecological and socioeconomic changes affect their spread. Through case studies of diseases such as influenza, HIV/AIDS, cholera, and COVID-19, they provide insight into why major diseases continue to pose a threat worldwide. This book offers a clear understanding of the underlying factors that drive infectious disease, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to grasp this critical topic. Part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, this concise guide is ideal for those seeking a quick and accessible introduction to infectious disease.
