Manson’s Tropical Diseases, 24th Edition

Manson’s Tropical Diseases, 24th Edition

Manson’s Tropical Diseases, 24th Edition is one of the world’s most respected and comprehensive references on tropical medicine. Led by Jeremy Farrar and an internationally recognised editorial team, this extensively revised Elsevier textbook delivers current information on parasitic, bacterial, viral and fungal diseases encountered throughout tropical regions.

The book combines clinical tropical medicine with global health, epidemiology, public health, ethics, environmental health and the social determinants of disease. It guides readers through clinical assessment, diagnosis, investigation, treatment, prevention and control of both common and neglected tropical diseases.

The 24th edition introduces a new section on the major drivers of tropical medicine in the 21st century, including poverty, inequality, political instability, climate change and the quality of medical products. It also contains new chapters addressing surgery in tropical settings, yellow fever, systemic mycoses and COVID-19.
