Outbreak
American Society for Microbiology (Verlag)
978-1-68367-041-4 (ISBN)
More than 90 outbreak case studies, organized into six sections according to the human body system affected, illustrate the wide range of diseases caused by microbial pathogens. The studies are presented at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. Each case study includes questions for students to think about, discuss, and answer, and the book includes an appendix that directs students to the specific reference material on which each case was based, providing the opportunity to investigate further and to apply the reference content to the case being studied.
Each of the six sections of the book concludes with a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study. The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world to facilitate understanding of the social, religious, economic, and political values at play in the treatment and prevention of infectious disease. At the end of every section, detailed descriptions offer concise yet complete information on each disease involved in that section.
Rodney P. Anderson, Ph.D., is a past chair of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Conference for Undergraduate Educators, which developed the core curriculum for undergraduate microbiology courses. He teaches microbiology and genetics to undergraduates in the Department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences at Ohio Northern University and conducts interdisciplinary seminars in disease and society addressed to microbiology nonmajors. Outreach activities have included microbial presentations at local elementary schools.
