Editorial Reviews

From The Critics
Reviewer: Sue C. Kehl, PhD, D(ABMM)(Medical College of Wisconsin)
Description: This third volume from an annual series is derived from presentations at the 1998 ICAAC. The focus is on a variety of diseases that pose major clinical and public health challenges, presenting both clinical and basic science issues.
Purpose: Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of death worldwide. The ability to address these infections requires a multidisciplinary approach and trained individuals. This book should serve as a valuable reference for persons responsible for coping with infectious disease in the new millennium.
Audience: This is a valuable reference for clinicians, microbiologists, pathologists, researchers, and others working in the fields of infectious disease, epidemiology, and public health. Students and residents in the field of microbiology and infectious disease will also find it a useful and complete reference.
Features: A variety of organisms ranging from the emerging pathogens, Hepatitis E virus, Pfiesteria piscicida, Streptococcus iniae, and microsporidial organisms to the reemerging Leishmania, Trypanasoma, and rickettsiae are covered. The role of the coroner and medical examiner in surveillance for emerging infections and the role of the public health community in detecting and responding to bioterrorism is discussed. Each chapter is written by experts in the field and is based on their presentation at the 1998 ICAAC. The historical aspects of each agent, public health, epidemiology, detection, treatment, and prevention are presented. The important points that make each agent a new or reemerging pathogen are highlighted.
Assessment: This is an excellent text with an in-depth discussion of a variety of infectious agents. The volume includes agents not covered in the first two volumes, making a nice series.
Charles E. Edmiston
This is a second volume based upon a collection of papers delivered at a symposium in 1997. The text covers a broad range of microbial pathogens, and this second volume is meant as a basic and clinical science update on new and emerging infectious diseases not covered in the previous volume. Because of the global interest in the subject of emerging infections, ASM Press has decided that an annual volume will be published based upon future symposia. The editors hope that the Emerging Infection series will be viewed as a valuable resource for microbiologists, physicians, and other public health personnel in their future attempts to develop strategies for the prevention and management of these serious infectious processes. The audience for this series is broad and interdisciplinary including microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, primary care physicians, public health scientists, and healthcare epidemiologists. The current volume includes several chapters of high profile and perhaps controversial areas of interest, such as the role of Chlamydia pneumonia in the etiology of atherogenesis, reemergence of the plague, resurgence of malaria, opportunistic pathogens in the next millennium, food-borne diseases, and present/future sources of contamination to the global blood supply. It is likely that these books offered by the ASM Press will be highly successful since they address an area of current major interest among microbiologists and other healthcare professionals. The specific content area of future volumes will vary in part, based upon global infectious disease trends and evolving basic and applied research initiatives that enhance our understanding of these emerginginfectious processes.
