Poliomyelitis
In the 20th century, poliomyelitis emerged to become a global crippler and killer. But, with the development of preventive vaccines in the 1950s, it looks set to be the first disease to be eliminated by direct human intervention. Divided into four parts, this book presents a world geography of poliomyelitis.
Oxford Textbook of Infectious Disease Control
This text discusses the issues of geographical spread of human communicable diseases. Split into six chapters it tackles surveillance, quarantine, vaccination, and forecasting for disease control. A wide selection of representative maps and diagrams are used to illustrate the ideas explored.
World Atlas of Epidemic Diseases
The euphoria about the defeat of epidemics which surrounded the global eradication of smallpox in the 1970s proved short-lived. The advent of AIDS in the following decade, the widening spectrum of other newly-emergent diseases (from Ebola to Hanta virus), and the resurgence of old diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria all suggest that the threa
War Epidemics
Down the ages, war epidemics have decimated the fighting strength of armies, caused the suspension and cancellation of military operations, and have brought havoc to the civil populations of belligerent and non-belligerent states alike. This book examines the historical occurrence and geographical spread of infectious diseases in association with past wars. It addresses an intrinsically geographical question: how are the spatial dynamics of epidemics influenced by military operations and the directives of war? The term historical geography in the title indicates the authors' primary concern with qualitative analyses of archival source materials over a 150-year time period from 1850, and this...

Deciphering Global Epidemics
This book uses data collected in the American journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for some 350 cities from around the world to look at trends in global mortality at the turn of the twentieth century, a period that witnessed some of the most dramatic changes in city growth on an international scale. The diseases considered are diphtheria, enteric fever, measles, scarlet fever, tuberculosis and whooping cough--as well as death from all causes. The data have never before been systematically analyzed and they give important insights into patterns of mortality from these diseases.
Computational Modeling Of The Covid-19 Disease: Numerical Ode Analysis With R Programming
The book is intended for readers who are interested in learning about the use of computer-based modelling of the COVID-19 disease. It provides a basic introduction to a five-ordinary differential equation (ODE) model by providing a complete statement of the model, including a detailed discussion of the ODEs, initial conditions and parameters, followed by a line-by-line explanation of a set of R routines (R is a quality, scientific programming system readily available from the Internet). The reader can access and execute these routines without having to first study numerical algorithms and computer coding (programming) and can perform numerical experimentation with the model on modest computers.
Contagion
Looks at the connection between trade and disease, tracing the plagues that swept through Eurasia in the fourteenth century and exposes the weaknesses in the current public health system that make our world susceptible to a pandemic.
Fighting the Plague in Seventeenth-century Italy
In this volume, Carlo M. Cipolla throws new light on the subject, utilizing newly uncovered and significant archival material.
The Epidemic Streets
This title provides a study of death and disease in the 19th century, and how Victorian society coped with infectious disease. It tells how a century ago whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and many other diseases ravaged millions of families and made life desperately uncertain.
