Produktbeschreibung

Neuroepidemiology in Tropical Health covers major neurological diseases of relevance in tropical settings and examines the specificities of epidemiology of neurological diseases in the context of tropical countries, which face many more challenges than the developed world. Part I focuses on methods and their eventual specificities, and how methods such as sampling methods can be adapted for specific scenarios. Parts II and III discuss environmental factors and their consequences for neurology in the tropical world, as well as large geographical areas and their specificities. Finally, Part IV presents relevant neurological diseases in in-depth chapters. These will help the reader recognize the various neurological conditions presented, and to better know their epidemiology, including their aetiologies and treatment in the tropical areas. The proposed book therefore fills a gap in the neuroepidemiology literature with chapters written by an international collection of experienced leading authors in the field lending their unique contributions to the work.
