ABOUT CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES MANUAL

Ebola. H1N1. Measles. West Nile Virus. Each year it seems more and more difficult to avoid hearing about a new outbreak of a dangerous infectious disease. Evading pandemics that cost the lives of millions requires knowledge about the diseases and how to prevent them from occurring and spreading.

This expert-written resource delivers information on identifying, managing, and preventing infectious diseases directly on your smartphone, tablet, and the web.

This latest edition (20th) from the American Public Health Association (APHA) includes details on nearly 500 diseases and public health issues arranged in an easy-to-consult format. Each infectious disease in CCDM is divided into 12 sub-categories including causative agent, occurrence, transmission, and management of the patient and contacts.
