The Control of Communicable Diseases Manual (CCDM) is one of the most widely recognized reference volumes on the topic of infectious diseases. It is useful for physicians, epidemiologists, global travelers, emergency volunteers and all who have dealt with or might have to deal with public health issues. The title of the book, as registered in the Library of Congress, is ''Control of Communicable Diseases Manual 20th edition, An Official Report of the American Public Health Association.'' The editor of CCDM is David L. Heymann, MD. ==History== The first edition, published in 1917, titled ''Control of Communicable Diseases in Man'', was also known then as the CCDM. The first edition was a 30-page pamphlet with 38 diseases. The second edition in 1926 included 42 diseases, but only two arthropod (mosquito) - borne diseases, yellow and dengue fever and one protozoan disease, malaria. The causative organism of smallpox, dengue and chickenpox was listed as 'unknown.' The third edition in 1932 included two new arthropod infestations and a new disease, coccidioidal granuloma, with a note that is was 100% fatal. The fourth edition in 1935 included 13 new infections. For a long time the paperback edition was a handy pocket book, the 17th edition still fitting in one hand or a pocket . Now, the softcover version can only fit in the largest pocket of a spacious winter coat. However, the entire contents are now available as an app for iOS and Android and in PDF format. The paperback is 729 pages with dimensions of 1.5 x 4.2 x 7 inches. The ISBN is 978-0-87553-018-5. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Control of Communicable Diseases Manual」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
