Deadly diseases can affect everyone. Although not all cases are fatal, each disease causes a degree of harm and discomfort to those whom it afflicts and can sometimes have long-lasting consequences. Each book in the Deadly Diseases and Epidemics series takes readers through all the aspects of a disease-from its history and causes or method of infection to its treatment and prevention. These informative, full-colour books provide a foundation for understanding the basics of microbiology, immunology, and epidemiology.
