Neuroepidemiology in Tropical Health (PDF)

Neuroepidemiology in Tropical Health provides a comprehensive exploration of major neurological diseases in tropical settings. It examines the specificities of epidemiology in tropical countries, which face many challenges compared to the developed world. Part One of the book focuses on methods and their specificities, including sampling adaptations that can be made for specific scenarios. Parts Two and Three address environmental factors and their impact on neurology in tropical areas as well as the specificities of large geographical regions. Finally, Part Four covers neurological diseases in detail.

The inclusion of aetiologies and treatments specific to tropical areas ensures readers are able to identify and recognize the various neurological conditions presented. With chapters written by experienced authors in the field, this book fills a gap in the neuroepidemiology literature.
