Communicable
Diseases
is Southern Africa
Communicable diseases, such as malaria, measles and influenza, are a serious risk
to human health, and contribute to about one third of all deaths globally. Diseases
such as HIV/AIDS have devastated communities and new diseases such as multi-
drug resistant tuberculosis have the potential to inflict great damage on society.
Communicable Diseases in Southern Africa is about recognising, treating and
controlling communicable diseases in a Southern African context. As this is
an impossible task without an understanding of basic microbiology and the
epidemiologic triad, Communicable Diseases in Southern Africa offers healthcare
students, professionals and laypeople a sound up-to-date, yet accessible, exposition
of these topics.
In the second part of Communicable Diseases in Southern Africa, readers will find:
• a comprehensive explanation of the identification, management and control of
viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases
• the profiles of over fifty diseases, ranging from those known from ancient times
to others that have made their appearance only in the last decade.
Communicable Diseases in Southern Africa may be used as a textbook or reference
book. It offers:
• clear and accessible explanations
• chapter outcomes and summaries
• a comprehensive overview of the epidemiologic triad - agent, host
and environment
• a synopsis of the approaches to treating and managing viral, bacterial, fungal
and parasitic diseases
• a user-friendly guide to the identification, management and control of the
individual communicable diseases.
A CD-ROM with case studies, questions and answers, visual references and useful
additional material is included.
