Book synopsis

This timely resource addresses the increasingly important world health care problem of emerging infectious diseases (EID) as evidenced by the recent pandemic of Ebola virus. Ebola: An Emerging Infectious Disease Case Study presents an Ebola case study as the backbone for discussing infectious diseases and delineates methods used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, USA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in identifying and containing such outbreaks. Current events pertaining to the Ebola outbreak are examined to assess the effectiveness of contemporary strategies employed by WHO and CDC. Furthermore, the book discusses biotechnological methods of identification as well as guidelines for isolation of patients and protection of health care providers. By weaving in current events in regard to Ebola, this unique and timely resource will encourage students to think critically about modern methods of managing infectious diseases on a global level, foster discussion, and create interest in the sciences.
