containment strategies

In this document I've summarized all the lectures given during the course 'Containment Strategies of Infectious Diseases in Global context' given at the VU Amsterdam. The course is given to students from Health Sciences, MPA and Biomedical Sciences. Since I come from Biomedical Sciences, Lecture 2 is not incorporated (refresher on immunology). Good luck studying!!

The book Communicable Diseases (Webber) is used in the course Containment Strategies in the MSc Health Sciences. These chapters were included to be common knowledge, therefore a summary has been written.

This is a complete summary of Communicable Diseases, a course in the master Health Sciences (VU), specialisation International Public Health (IPA). This summary contains all the readings from the book 'Communicable Diseases' by Webber, all of the lectures and all of the 35 diseases that have to be studied for the exam.

In this document, all diseases that you need to study for the exam are summarized. Each disease has info on what is is (virus/bacterium/parasite), what it causes, diagnosis, transmission, incubation period/period of communicability, occurrence and distribution, prevention and control, treatment and surveillance. On the first page, a list of included diseases is present. I passed the exam with a 9.5 with this summary!
