By taking an approach focused on the general evolutionary and ecological dynamics of disease, this Very Short Introduction provides a general conceptual framework for thinking about disease. Ecology and evolution provide the keys to answering the 'where', 'why', 'how', and 'what' questions about any particular infectious disease: where did it come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another, and why are some individuals more susceptible than others? What biochemical, ecological, and evolutionary strategies can be used to combat the disease? Is it more effective to block transmission at the population level, or to block infection at the individual level? Through a series of case studies, Benjamin Bolker and Marta L. Wayne introduce the major ideas of infectious disease in a clear and thoughtful way, emphasising the general principles of infection, the management of outbreaks, and the evolutionary and ecological approaches that are now central to much research about infectious disease."--Publisher's web site.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.9 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9 Wayne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.9 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
