内容説明

Widely known as 'The Yellow Book', this concise and user-friendly resource equips both travelers and physicians with essential information on preventing, recognizing, and managing travel-related health problems. Since it comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-the leading authority on infectious disease, public health, and infection control in the US-you can count on it for all the guidance you need to minimize the health risks and discomforts of travel, from immunizations and jet lag to infections and food poisoning.
