متن کاملGlobal Challenges of Infectious Disease Epidemiology
As we have seen in the last chapter, infectious and parasitic diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Approximately 26% of global deaths and 26% of global burden of disease were attributed to infectious diseases in 2001 (Lopez et al. 2006; see Chapter 1). One in two deaths that are mostly preventable occurs in developing countries (K...
