ABOUT CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES MANUAL

Ebola. H1N1. Measles. West Nile Virus. Each year it seems more and more difficult to avoid hearing about a new outbreak of a dangerous infectious disease. Evading pandemics that cost the lives of millions requires knowledge about the diseases and how to prevent them from occurring and spreading.

Each infectious disease in CCDM is divided into 12 sub-categories including causative agent, occurrence, transmission, and management of the patient and contacts.
