Disease Backgrounder

When your assignment calls for a deeper understanding of current and emerging infectious disease threats, this is the section where you'll find complete and authoritative resources. We've provided historical perspectives, lists of readings mined from the literature that include links to abstracts or full text, guidelines for treatment, and links to sources of information outside of CIDRAP on news-making emerging issues. The avian and pandemic flu sections also offer in-depth overviews that should answer just about any question that comes your way. If you're looking for multimedia sources for learning and presenting, you'll find videos, webinars, PowerPoint presentations, and other tools. Our goal is empower you with knowledge and the ability to communicate confidently within your organization.
