Disease Surveillance A Public Health

The overall objective of this book is to present the various components (research, development, implementation, and operational strategies) of effective disease surveillance programs at all levels of government. With contributions from fifteen noted experts in the fields of medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, and information technology, the book explores those surveillance systems that appear to be most useful in terms of adaptations to changing environments and to emerging public health events that have heretofore yet to be considered.

Joseph S. Lombardo, MS, is Program Manager for Bio Information Systems in the National Security Technology Department at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. He is the Director of the JHU/APL Center of Excellence in Public Health Informatics.

David L. Buckeridge, MD, PhD, is Assistant Professor and a Canadian Research Chair in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health at McGill University. His research interests include public health informatics and surveillance systems, outbreak simulation, and the influence of surveillance information on decision-making in public health.
