Summary:

Pandemic influenza is an emerging pathogen that has serious public health consequences. Following recent avian and swine influenza outbreaks, preparedness against pandemic influenza on national and international scales is of vital importance. This book includes 29 chapters covering the following topics: epidemiology and clinical features of interpandemic influenza and pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09; surveillance and pandemic requirements; basic influenza virology and immunology; influenza in birds and mammals, including humans; history of influenza pandemics; transmission and infection control issues; pandemic preparedness; emergency preparedness and business continuity planning; role of exercises in pandemic preparedness; local health services responses; bio-mathematical modelling; pharmaceutical interventions (antiviral drugs and vaccines); national and international public health measures; port health and international health regulations; socioeconomic impact; ethical issues related to pandemic preparedness and response; pandemic communication (e.g. mass media, internet, social media); and case studies of pandemic experience, response, preparedness and planning in Mexico, Chile, New Zealand, Former Soviet Union, Africa, Denmark, South East Asia, North America (Canada and USA) and Saudi Arabia. This book is intended for students in virology, epidemiology, infectious diseases, public health and medical sciences, and for all those involved in pandemic preparedness.
