This book provides a comprehensive overview on the sources, ecology and laboratory diagnosis of legionella. Guidance is provided on risk assessment and risk management of susceptible environments. The necessary measures to prevent, or adequately control, the risk from exposure to legionella bacteria are identified for each identified environment. Outbreaks of legionellosis generally cause a high level of morbidity and mortality in the people affected and as such the suspicion of an outbreak warrants immediate action. The policies and practice for outbreak management and the institutional roles and responsibilities of an outbreak control team are reviewed. This book will be useful to all those concerned with legionella and health, including environmental and public health officers, health care workers, the travel industry, researchers and special interest groups. 606 $aLegionnaires' disease$xPrevention 606 $aLegionella 615 0$aLegionnaires' disease$xPrevention. 615 0$aLegionella. 676 $a614.59241579.33 701 $aBartram$b Jamie$0875089 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809251403321 996 $aLegionella and the prevention of legionellosis$94063651 997 $aUNINA
