| Summary |
The Control of Communicable Diseases Manual is the most widely recognized sourcebook on infectious diseases. The 18th edition addresses concerns about the impact of communicable diseases around the globe as communicable diseases, new and unknown, continue to thrive, kill, maim and surprise the masses.
