Book Description
Dengue Fever is the fastest emerging arboviral infection with major public health consequences for millions of people around the world, and in particular the South-East Asia region. These regional guidelines were extensively revised, updated and expanded with the focus on new and additional topics of current relevance to the populations of the region. They are intended to provide guidance to national and local-level program managers and public health officials, as well as stakeholders, including health practitioners, laboratory personnel and multisectoral partners, in strategic planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and strengthening the response to dengue prevention and control in their countries. Scientists and researchers involved in vaccine and antiviral drug development will also find crucial baseline information in this publication.

Book Description
A comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, clinical management, epidemiological, surveillance, prevention and control of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever. Although guidelines and advice are universally relevant, the manual is specifically designed for use in South-East Asian countries, where dengue fever remains a major public health concern. Recommendations and advice respond to research demonstrating that different geographic areas show a variable response to infection, have different epidemiological patterns, and require different approaches to control. The book also responds to past failures to control dengue in these countries, citing almost exclusive concentration on space spraying of adult mosquitoes as one of the most important causes. With these problems in mind, the book places major emphasis on measures that can make communities responsible for vector control in the domestic environment as the best way to secure sustained improvements in prevention and control. The book has twelve chapters. The first summarizes what is known about the virus, vector, host, transmission cycle, and virus-host interactions. A brief overview of the global situation is followed by a detailed chronology of the resurgence of dengue in South-East Asia. Clinical manifestations and diagnosis are covered in chapter two, which includes precise criteria for reaching a diagnosis based on clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. Chapter three, on clinical management, gives particular attention to the management of dengue shock syndrome as a medical emergency. The important role of laboratory diagnosis is addressed in chapter four, which describes in detail the laboratory confirmatory tests that are essential for diagnosis. A chapter offering advice on the epidemiological surveillance of cases and vectors is followed by a brief description of vector distribution and bioecology. The second half of the book is devoted to strategies for prevention and control, emphasizing vector control measures that can be undertaken by communities as the best approach to successful and sustainable control. Detailed advice, supported by line drawings, checklists, and charts, is given for all appropriate environmental, biological, and chemical methods of vector control. The book also includes a chapter explaining how to develop an emergency plan for rapid response to epidemics. Further practical guidance is provided in a series of fifteen annexes, which include a model arbovirus laboratory request form, a guide to the relative sensitivity and interpretation of serological tests, and abundant advice on environmental and chemical methods of vector control specific to South-East Asia.

Book Description
Cytokine Storm Syndromes, including HLH and MAS, are frequently fatal disorders, particularly if not recognized early and treated during presentation. The genetics of Cytokine Storm Syndromes are being defined with many of the risk alleles giving rise to mutations in the perforin-mediated cytolytic pathway used by CD8 cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells. These are being studied using murine models. Up to 10% of the general population may carry risk alleles for developing Cytokine Storm Syndromes, and Cytokine Storm Syndromes are being increasingly recognized around the world in pediatric and adult hospitals. A variety of infectious, rheumatic, and oncologic triggers are commonly associated with Cytokine Storm Syndromes, but understanding this disorder is critical for all researchers and physicians to ensure timely and appropriate therapy. This textbook, the first of its kind, addresses all aspects of the disorder – from genetics, pathophysiology, and ongoing research, to clinical presentations, risk factors, and treatment.

Book Description
Vector transmission of pathogens affecting human, animal, and plant health continues to plague mankind both in industrialized and Third World coun tries. The diseases caused by these pathogens cost billions of dollars an nually in medical expenses and lost productivity. Some cause widespread of food-and fiber-producing plants and animals, whereas others destruction present direct and immediate threats to human life and further development in Third World countries. During the past 15 years or so, we have witnessed an explosive increase in interest in how vectors acquire, carry, and subsequently inoculate dis ease agents to human, animal, and plant hosts. This interest transcends the boundaries of anyone discipline and involves researchers from such varied fields as human and veterinary medicine, entomology, plant pa thology, virology, physiology, microbiology, parasitology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, ultrastructure, biophysics, bio systematics, biogeography, ecology, behavioral sciences, and others. Ac companying and perhaps generating this renewed interest is the realization that fundamental knowledge of pathogen-vector-host interrelationships is a first and necessary step in our quest for efficient, safe methods of disease control.

Book Description
A collection of cutting-edge techniques for detecting most of the major viruses that afflict mankind, including influenza, hepatitis, herpes, polio, mumps, HIV, and many more. The techniques are well-tested, easily reproducible, and readily employ all the new technologies-PCR, RIA, ELISA, and latex-agglutination-that have revolutionized the field. These methods not only make it possible to do the necessary analysis in hours instead of days, but can also be automated in a laboratory havng only low levels of biological containment. Frequently, the protocols for viruses causing human diseases can be adapted to similar viruses of veterinary importance. Through its state-of-the-art methods a physician can, for the first time, determine early in a viral infection which antiviral drug should be used and minimize the period of treatment to avoid unnecessary side effects.
