Review
"This reference text introduces major topics in epidemiology in a concise handbook. This book is a first edition from the Oxford Specialist Handbook Series and will be useful for both practitioners and students of epidemiology... Given the great breadth of topics covered in less than 400 pages, Infectious Diseases Epidemiology ambitiously serves as a valuable resource and reference."
- Louise Elaine, Clinical Infectious Diseases, December 2016"...a comprehensive treatise on the methods and major infections confronted by infectious disease epidemiologists internationally... This guide should serve to as a reminder for practitioners of the epidemiology and provides an excellent review for those new to the field."
- The Lancet"Infectious Disease Epidemiology is a practical and concise guide which not only provides basic information and concepts used in epidemiology, but also the remarkable advances in this discipline as a result of progress in molecular biology, genomics, statistics and computing."
