Title: Communicable Disease Control Handbook. 2nd edition Authors: Hawker, Jeremy; Begg, Norman; Blair, Iain; Reintjes, Ralf; Weinberg, Julius Abstract: The Communicable Disease Control Handbook (second edition) provides a concise, practical, and authoritative reference for professionals responsible for the identification, investigation, prevention, and control of infectious diseases. Written from a public-health perspective, it integrates basic epidemiological principles with clear guidance on health protection practice, including on-call response and outbreak management. The text is organised into sections on common clinical topics and syndromes, detailed alphabetical disease-specific entries, and practical advice on surveillance, organisational arrangements, and services for communicable disease control. Additional chapters expand on key contemporary issues such as immunisation queries, smallpox, SARS, West Nile virus, bioterrorism, and on-call public health action. This edition also includes information on communicable disease control arrangements across European countries, making it a useful reference for public health physicians, epidemiologists, infection control practitioners, and environmental health professionals.

Title: Fundamental Food Microbiology. Sixth Edition Authors: Ray, Bibek; Bhunia, Arun Abstract: In the sixth edition, is aimed to capture scientific advancements related to foodborne pathogens, the impact of climate change on foodborne diseases, food spoilage, and sustainability. We reorganized several chapters and merged the appendix sections for better presentation and clarity. New topics included in this edition are a brief description of the CRISPR/Cas system for gene editing, plasma technology, micro/nanobubble technology for food processing, plant- and animal derived antimicrobial peptides, bioengineering of probiotics, and some key mycotoxins. All chapters in this sixth edition have been thoroughly revised and updated with recent reference articles, illustrations, and figures when possible.

Title: Oxford Textbook of Global Public Health 6th edition Authors: Detels, Roger Abstract: xford Textbook of Global Public Health is a comprehensive, authoritative resource on the principles, methods, and practice of public health and epidemiology from a truly global perspective. This sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to address contemporary public health challenges and priorities worldwide. It is structured around three major themes: The Scope of Public Health — exploring the development of the discipline, determinants of health and disease, and frameworks for policy, law, and ethics that guide public health practice. The Methods of Public Health — detailing the scientific approaches central to the field including epidemiology, biostatistics, social science methods, and environmental and occupational health sciences. The Practice of Public Health — examining major health problems and hazards, prevention and control strategies, and addressing the health needs of diverse population groups. This edition introduces emerging topics such as climate change and health, genetic testing in epidemiology, new measures for the burden of disease, life-course epidemiology, behavioural economics, and the role of physical activity in promoting wellbeing. Contributors from around the world provide perspectives on varied health systems and public health needs, making the text essential for students, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in global public health and epidemiology Description: xxviii, 1717pages:illustrations (some color)
