Oxford Textbook of Infectious Disease Control Online

The Oxford Textbook of Infectious Disease Control: A Geographical Analysis from Medieval Quarantine to Global Eradication is a comprehensive analysis of spatial theory and the practical methods used to prevent the geographical spread of communicable diseases in humans. Drawing on current and historical examples spanning seven centuries from across the globe, this indispensable volume demonstrates how to mitigate the public health impact of infections in disease hotspots andprevent the propagation of infection from such hotspots into other geographical locations.

This is an elegant publication with clear illustrations, maps and graphs. It is a useful interesting read and fairly priced as research or reference text for occupational physicians.
