Controlling the spread of infectious diseases requires timely surveillance, intervention, and public cooperation. This book presents the fundamentals of infectious disease control, including transmission dynamics, outbreak response, immunization strategies, and antimicrobial stewardship. It explores global efforts to manage diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and emerging threats. Public health infrastructure, laboratory networks, and policy coordination are also discussed. This guide equips public health professionals to respond effectively to infectious disease challenges.
