Molecular Tools and Infectious Disease Epidemiology
The application of modern molecular genetic and biologic techniques to infectious disease epidemiology dramatically improves measurement of disease and putative risk factors increasing our ability to detect and track outbreaks, identify risk factors and detect new infectious agents. However, integration of these techniques into epidemiologic studies also poses new challenges in the design, conduct, and analysis. We examine these opportunities and methodologic challenges giving specific examples. The book will be written for the reader with limited understanding of genetics, biology and epidemiology.

Non-communicable Diseases in Developing Countries
Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are still widely perceived as diseases of affluence and not therefore public health priorities for low and middle income (developing) countries. This book focuses on chronic non communicable diseases (NCDs) in Low Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Currently, NCDs appear to be permeating the globe, with an increasing trend in LMIC. The increasing prevalence of NCDs in these countries is attributed to rapid urbanisation, population ageing, globalisation and industrialisation, all of which result in marked changes in patterns of consumption of food and alcohol, increased tobacco use and sedentary lifestyles, high levels of stress and low levels of physical activity. The burden of NCDs is likely to increas
