Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases (PDF)

The Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases provides a much

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.

Diseases is an essential tool for infectious disease
specialists, medical microbiologists, virologists, travel medicine
