Description
Dengue Virus Disease: From Origin to Outbreak provides a detailed accounting of one of the world’s fastest growing infections. According to the World Health Organization, Dengue virus incidence has increased 30-fold over the past 50 years, with up to 50 to 100 million infections occurring annually in over 100 endemic countries. This estimate puts nearly half the world’s population at risk. This book reviews the history, clinical and diagnostic aspects of dengue virus, also presenting our current knowledge on the pathophysiology of severe dengue and addressing the importance of dengue virus infections in those traveling to parts of the world where it is endemic.
Reviews
I received a copy of this book’s first edition as a gift during my first year in Medical school and read it religiously for understanding the basics of immunology and microbiology during my first two semesters. It’s written in a concise, easy to follow fashion that gets to the core of the concept without loosing you in the specifics. It also helped me not look completely helpless when I began research the summer after MS1!
