This is a very well-written book that provides a great explanation of the core principles of travel medicine. This edition includes updated recommendations on some of the vaccines, such as the yellow fever vaccine. An understanding of the concepts in this book serves the needs of clinicians who aim to conquer the outbreaks of infectious diseases associated with travel.
