This book provides an up-to-date information on microbial diseases which is an emerging health problem world over. This book presents a comprehensive coverage of basic and clinical microbiology, including immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology, in a clear and succinct manner.
The text includes morphological features and identification of each organism along with the pathogenesis of diseases, clinical manifestations, diagnostic laboratory tests, treatment, and prevention and control of resulting infections along with most recent advances in the field. Professor Parija, author of more than research publications and 5 textbooks, is the recipient of more than 20 National and International Awards including the most prestigious Dr BC Roy National Award of the Medical Council of India for his immense contribution in the field of Medical Microbiology.
Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology, 2nd Edition, is the newest edition of this fascinating textbook designed for introductory microbiology students and instructors.
Thoroughly revised, this collection of case studies of real-world disease outbreaks, generously illustrated in full color, offers material that directly impacts college-level students, while the book's unique presentation offers instructors the flexibility to use it effectively in a number of ways. More than 90 outbreak case studies, organized into six sections according to the human body system affected, illustrate the wide range of diseases caused by microbial pathogens.
The studies are presented at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. Each case study includes questions for students to think about, discuss, and answer, and the book includes an appendix that directs students to the specific reference material on which each case was based, providing the opportunity to investigate further and to apply the reference content to the case being studied. Each of the six sections of the book concludes with a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study.
The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world to facilitate understanding of the social, religious, economic, and political values at play in the treatment and prevention of infectious disease. At the end of every section, detailed descriptions offer concise yet complete information on each disease involved in that section.
