Beschreibung

The Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases provides a much needed practical and visual overview of the current distribution and determinants of major infectious diseases of humans. The comprehensive full-color maps show at a glance the areas with reported infections and outbreaks, and are accompanied by a concise summary of key information on the infectious agent and its clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Since infectious diseases are dynamic, the maps are presented in the context of a changing world, and how these changes are influencing the geographical distribution on human infections. This unique atlas: * Contains more than 145 high quality full-color maps covering all major human infectious diseases * Provides key information on the illustrated infectious diseases * Has been compiled and reviewed by an editorial board of infectious disease experts from around the world The result is a concise atlas with a consistent format throughout, where material essential for understanding the global spatial distribution of infectious diseases has been thoughtfully assembled by international experts. Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases is an essential tool for infectious disease specialists, medical microbiologists, virologists, travel medicine specialists, and public health professionals. The Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases is accompanied by a FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition - an interactive digital version of the book with downloadable images and text, highlighting and note-taking facilities, book-marking, cross-referencing, in-text searching, and linking to references and glossary terms.

Foreword

Maps have magical properties. They convert all kinds of data into colors, shades, shapes, and figures, and display them in a spatial framework. Map-making involves planting data on drawings of contours of land masses or representations of geographic regions. Maps are an ancient and common form of communication. Maps enable us to see where we are and identify many attributes of people, places – really any characteristic of the biosphere – by geographic location. Maps can convey large volumes of information, tell stories, and help to answer questions. Here we have an atlas, a collection of maps. As someone with in inordinate fondness for maps, I take great pleasure in this book.

The topic of the spatial distribution of diseases – and how and why this changes – has been one of endless fascination for me. Thus it was a joy for me to be contacted by someone else who also has a passion for this topic – for ‘understanding the special preferences of infectious agents for specific niches and hosts.’ Even better, Heiman Wertheim, who has led this project, has had the energy, creativity, and vision to pull together a book that assembles material that is essential for trying to make sense of the patchwork of infectious diseases globally. It is not an easy task to do even the first part – to create maps showing where diseases exist – or rather, where they have been reported in the past. Most maps showing disease distributions found in textbooks are old, based on incomplete data, and often out-of-date by the time they are printed. Disease distribution is dynamic because of the inherent properties of life and its interaction with the abiotic environment, and it is difficult to provide maps that accurately capture the current situation
