The 20th edition of David L. Heymann’s Control of Communicable Diseases Manual is the infectious-disease reference trusted by health departments, clinics, and students worldwide. This 2015 trade paperback from the American Public Health Association packs 729 pages of up-to-date guidance on outbreak response, surveillance, and prevention in a compact 6.5" x 4" format that fits any field bag.
This copy is in very good condition: crisp pages, tight binding, no tears or highlighting—only a previous owner’s name on the cover keeps it from being labeled “like new.” It comes from a smoke-free home and shows minimal shelf wear, so it’s ready for immediate use in coursework, travel medicine, or public-health practice.
As the most current iteration of the classic handbook, the 20th edition reflects the latest WHO and CDC recommendations, making it an indispensable resource for infectious-disease professionals, epidemiologists, and medical libraries. Grab this affordable, gently personalized copy and keep authoritative communicable-disease data within arm’s reach.
