{"product_id":"waterborne-disease-isbn-9780471966463","title":"Waterborne Disease","description":"Water borne disease is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide every year. Within both developed and developing countries the demand for clean drinking and bathing water is ever increasing and the control of water borne disease is therefore of extreme importance. The book first addresses the magnitude of the problem, with subsequent chapters on specific diseases including Crytosporidiosis, Schistosomiasis, legionellosis and viral gastrointeritis. Concluding chapters discuss practical control issues such as basic water treatment and the problems of water borne disease control in less developed countries. \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 An Introduction to the Science and Art of Epidemiology 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Water Supply and Distribution 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Drinking Water and Waterborne Disease 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Illness Associated with Recreational Contact with Water 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Infestion) 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Schistosomiasis 57\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Giardiasis 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Cryptosporidiosis 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Cyclospora 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Naegleria 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Cyanobacteria 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Cholera and Other Vibrios 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fevers and Other Salmonella Infections 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery) 124\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Campylobacteriosis 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Escherichia coli 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Yersinia Infections 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Plesiomonas Infections 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Aeromonas Infections 160\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Pseudomonas Infections 165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Melioidosis 172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Legionnaire’s Disease 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 Leptospirosis 182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Mycobacterial Disease 189\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 Tularaemia 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 Heliocobacter Infections 202\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 Viral Hepatitis 206\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e28 Viral Gastroenteritis 222\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e29 Enterovirus Infections Including Poliomyelitis 232\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e30 Adenoviral Infections 240\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e31 Chemical Poisoning and Drinking Water 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e32 Cancer and Water 274\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e33 Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Water 293\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 301\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 365\u003c\/p\u003e Introduction;\u003cbr\u003e An Introduction to the Science and Art of Epidemiology;\u003cbr\u003e Water Supply and Distribution;\u003cbr\u003e Drinking Water and Waterborne Disease;\u003cbr\u003e Illness Associated with Recreational Contact with Water;\u003cbr\u003e Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Infestations);\u003cbr\u003e Schistosomiasis;\u003cbr\u003e Giardiasis;\u003cbr\u003e Cryptosporidiosis;\u003cbr\u003e Cylospora;\u003cbr\u003e Naegleria;\u003cbr\u003e Cyanobacteria;\u003cbr\u003e Cholera and other Vibrios;\u003cbr\u003e Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fevers and other Salmonella Infections;\u003cbr\u003e Shigellosis (Bacillary Dysentery);\u003cbr\u003e Campylobacteriosis;\u003cbr\u003e Escherichia Coli;\u003cbr\u003e Yersinia;\u003cbr\u003e Plesiomonas Infections;\u003cbr\u003e Aeromonas;\u003cbr\u003e Pseudomonas Infections;\u003cbr\u003e Melioidosis;\u003cbr\u003e Legionnaire's Disease;\u003cbr\u003e Leptospirosis;\u003cbr\u003e Mycobacterial Disease;\u003cbr\u003e Tularaemia;\u003cbr\u003e Helicobacter Infections;\u003cbr\u003e Viral Hepatitis;\u003cbr\u003e Viral Gastroenteritis;\u003cbr\u003e Enterovirus Infections Including Poliomyelitus;\u003cbr\u003e Adenoviral Infections;\u003cbr\u003e Chemical Poisoning and Drinking Water;\u003cbr\u003e Cancer and Water;\u003cbr\u003e Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Water. \"It is well written, clearly laid out and easily understood.

With this in mind, Waterborne Disease: Ecology and Epidemiology provides a comprehensive overview of waterborne-related health problems for all such professionals with an interest in this significant world-wide problem. Each chapter follows a logical structure, focusing upon a specific disease group and presenting a detailed and authoritative examination of a given pathogen's microbiology, clinical aspects and diagnosis. Chapters also review the distribution of each pathogen in the aquatic environment and discuss outbreaks and sporadic disease from microbiological, epidemiological and water supply perspectives. With increasing awareness of environmental problems throughout the world, this unique volume provides timely and invaluable reading for medical practitioners, environmental health officers, public health professionals, water quality engineers, scientists and environmental regulators.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990468903141,"sku":"NP9780471966463","price":333.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471966463.jpg?v=1761787950","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/waterborne-disease-isbn-9780471966463","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
