CABI Publishing Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Book SynopsisContinued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. Recent exciting research on dengue has resulted in major advances in our understanding of all aspects of the biology of these viruses, and this updated second edition brings together leading research and clinical scientists to review dengue virus biology, epidemiology, entomology, therapeutics, vaccinology and clinical management.Table of ContentsI: History & Epidemiology 1: Dengue Viruses: their evolution, history and emergence as a global public health problem 2: Mapping the Epidemiology of Dengue 3: Economic and Disease Burden of Dengue 4: Surveillance for Dengue 5: Dengue Infections in Travelers 6: A review of transmission models of dengue: a quantitative and qualitative analysis of model features II: The Disease 7: Clinical Features of Dengue 8: Neurological Manifestations of Dengue Virus Infection 9: The Southeast Asia Regional Office (WHO) Guidelines for Clinical management of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever 10: Laboratory Diagnosis of Dengue 11: Dengue Pathogenesis - Host Factors 12: Dengue Pathogenesis – Viral Factors 13: The acquired immune response in dengue virus infection 14: Innate Immune Responses to Dengue Infection 15: Pathology of Dengue Virus Infection 16: Dengue Drug Development III: The virus 17: Taxonomy and Evolutionary Relationships of Flaviviruses 18: Molecular Virology of Dengue Virus 19: The structural biology of dengue virus 20: The Non-Structural Proteins of Dengue Virus IV: Virus-host interaction 21: The Interface between Dengue Virus and the Human Host 22: Dengue Virus-Mosquito Interactions and Molecular Methods of Vector Control 23: Animal Models of Dengue Infection and Disease V: Dengue prevention 24: Dengue vector bionomics: Why Aedes aegypti is such a good vector 25: Surveillance and control of urban dengue vectors 26: Dengue Vector Control - New Approaches 27: Biological control of dengue and Wolbachia-based strategies 28: Dengue Vaccines 29: Dengue Virus Neutralization and Surrogates of Protection

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Sars War: Combating The Disease
Book SynopsisOn 12 March 2003, the World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a global alert on the outbreak of a new form of pneumonia-like disease with symptoms that are similar to those of the common flu. This illness, officially known as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), is potentially fatal and highly contagious, and has spread quickly to many parts of the world in a matter of a few weeks. Aided by globalisation and the ease of air travel today, the disease has now been reported in many countries, such as China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada, the US and some parts of Europe, with a large number of infections and a significant number of deaths.In this book, the global SARS outbreak is traced and described, with a focus on the regions where the most infections have been identified. An overview of the whole saga is presented: how the disease spreads; how governments react; how societies and people cope and how health experts work fervently to identify the virus and search for a cure.In addition, the book contains guidelines on what a person or organisation can do to reduce the risk of contracting the deadly illness. It includes precautionary measures disseminated by various health authorities and preventive herbal concoctions recommended by Chinese physicians, presented in an easy-to-read manner. Furthermore, insights of experts are provided.This book aims to give critical information on SARS. It is a must for people who want to find out more about the disease and how to reduce the risk of contracting it.Table of ContentsFlu's Fury: Warning from History; SARS Track: Situation Updates Around the World; WHO - SARS' Main Fighter: Chronology of WHO's Involvement; Policies and Measures: Containing the Virus; Keeping SARS at Bay: A Comprehensive List of Preventive Measures for Individuals and Organisations; Impact of the Outbreak: Economic and Social Repercussions; Never Too Old a Remedy: An Exclusive Interview with Professor Leung Ping Chung; Starring in SARS: Super Infectors; From the Ground: Real Life Accounts; Frequently Asked Questions; Contact Details.
