Infectious Disease Surveillance

This fully updated edition of Infectious Disease
Surveillance is for frontline public health practitioners,
epidemiologists, and clinical microbiologists who are engaged in
communicable disease control. It is also a foundational text
for trainees in public health, applied epidemiology, postgraduate
medicine and nursing programs.

The second edition portrays both the conceptual framework and
practical aspects of infectious disease surveillance. It is a
comprehensive resource designed to improve the tracking of
infectious diseases and to serve as a starting point in the
development of new surveillance systems. Infectious Disease
Surveillance includes over 45 chapters from over 100
contributors, and topics organized into six sections based on major
themes.

Section One highlights the critical role surveillance
plays in public health and it provides an overview of the current
International Health Regulations (2005) in addition to successes
and challenges in infectious disease eradication.

Section Two describes surveillance systems based on
logical program areas such as foodborne illnesses, vector-borne
diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, viral hepatitis healthcare
and transplantation associated infections. Attention is devoted to
programs for monitoring unexplained deaths, agents of bioterrorism,
mass gatherings, and disease associated with international
travel.

Sections Three and Four explore the uses of the Internet
and wireless technologies to advance infectious disease
surveillance in various settings with emphasis on best practices
based on deployed systems. They also address molecular laboratory
methods, and statistical and geospatial analysis, and evaluation of
systems for early epidemic detection.

Sections Five and Six discuss legal and ethical
considerations, communication strategies and applied
epidemiology-training programs. The rest of the chapters offer
public-private partnerships, as well lessons from the 2009-2010
H1N1 influenza pandemic and future directions for infectious
disease surveillance.
