Published in May 2005, Know Risk Epidemics specifically addresses the ways that regional, national and local authorities can increase preparedness for emerging infectious diseases.
The book draws on the extensive knowledge of the scientific and academic community to identify future pandemic threats and suggest ways of combating them successfully. It contains a wide range of reports, policy documents and case studies from individual United Nations agencies, public authorities, non-governmental organisations and commercial specialists in the field of emerging infectious diseases.
