Today, infectious and parasitic diseases cause about one-third of deaths and are the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The speed that changes in human behavior can produce epidemics is well illustrated by AIDS, but this is only one of numerous microbial threats whose severity and spread are determined by human behaviors. In this book, forty experts in the fields of infectious diseases, the life sciences and public health explore how demography, geography, migration, travel, environmental change, natural disaster, sexual behavior, drug use, food production and distribution, medical technology, training and preparedness, as well as governance, human conflict and social dislocation influence current and likely future epidemics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTravel \u003cbr\u003eChanging Sexual Mores and Disease Transmission\u003cbr\u003eThe International Drug Epidemic\u003cbr\u003eUrbanization and the Social Ecology of Emerging Infectious Diseases\u003cbr\u003eSuburbanization In Developed Nations\u003cbr\u003eThe Social Ecology of Infectious Disease Transmission in Day Care Centers\u003cbr\u003eProtecting Blood Safety\u003cbr\u003eFood Safety in the Industrialized World\u003cbr\u003eAntibiotic Resistance and Nosocomial Infections\u003cbr\u003eVaccines and Immunization\u003cbr\u003eInfectious Diseases in the Context of War, Civil Strife and Social Dislocation\u003cbr\u003eBioterrorism\u003cbr\u003eInfectious Diseases Associated with Natural Disasters (working title)\u003cbr\u003eClimate Change And Infectious Diseases\u003cbr\u003eGovernance, Human Rights and Infectious Disease: Theoretical, Empirical and Practical Perspectives\u003cbr\u003eInternational Organizational Response to Infectious Disease Epidemics\u003cbr\u003ePrinciples of Building the Global Health Workforce\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Popular medicine \u0026amp; health [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Popular medicine \u0026amp; health\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Popular%20medicine%20\u0026amp;%20health%20%5BVFD%5D%22\"\u003eVFD\u003c\/a\u003e], Microbiology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Microbiology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Microbiology%20%5Bnon-medical%5D%20%5BPSG%5D%22\"\u003enon-medical PSG\u003c\/a\u003e], Infectious \u0026amp; contagious diseases [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Infectious \u0026amp; contagious diseases\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Infectious%20\u0026amp;%20contagious%20diseases%20%5BMJCJ%5D%22\"\u003eMJCJ\u003c\/a\u003e], Public health \u0026amp; preventive medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Public health \u0026amp; preventive medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Public%20health%20\u0026amp;%20preventive%20medicine%20%5BMBN%5D%22\"\u003eMBN\u003c\/a\u003e], Health \u0026amp; safety issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Health \u0026amp; safety issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Health%20\u0026amp;%20safety%20issues%20%5BKNXC%5D%22\"\u003eKNXC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649208340760,"sku":"9780123704665","price":68.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780123704665_1d04a974-db78-4ae3-8ff5-5b02a0d804b6.jpg?v=1695006784","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-social-ecology-of-infectious-diseases-hardback-9780123704665","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
