Reviews
"A unique and very readable collection of infectious and non-infectious diseases associated with travel, geography, activity and behavior. Each chapter includes an interesting and engaging mix of environments and microbes interrupted by human activity and the interesting clinical and epidemiological consequences of each. A great text that is easy to navigate for microbiologists and clinicians interested in internal medicine, sports medicine, travel medicine and infectious disease."David W. Craft PhD, Medical Director of Microbiology, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, In Infections of Leisure , infectious disease specialists discuss the risks of infection associated with various activities--traveling, high-altitude trekking and mountaineering, camping (arthropod-borne diseases/arboviruses), gardening, swimming/hot tub use, body piercing and tattooing, consumption of exotic foods, sports participation, interaction with animals (zoonoses), and sexual activity. Select envenomations/poisonings, primarily those associated with dangerous marine life, are also included. Considerations are global in scope, highlighting information on pathogenic organisms, clinical disease, epidemiology, and treatment. While interesting and informative, the depth of discussion varies significantly within the chapters. The categorization of some infectious disease agents seems forced and artificial. In some of the considered circumstances, infections discussed are rarely (if ever) reported. In other cases, important considerations may be relegated to a brief entry in a table. As expected, considering the ubiquity of environmental pathogens, there is extensive repetition from chapter to chapter. However, each chapter contains a section on practical tips. In some instances, these tips are meant as differential diagnostic aids for healthcare workers; in other instances, these serve as advice for ways to avoid infections. This book will primarily interest healthcare workers, especially those working in the field of infectious disease. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals and practitioners. Review Date: October 2016 -D. A.

Synopsis
Presents useful information to support confident identification of leisure-associated infections. Enables informed choices and provides an understanding of the risks posed to human health by hobbies, exotic foods and travel. Useful for health care professionals, microbiologists, and infectious diseases specialists., A day at the beach: delightful, restorative - and potentially dangerous. Leisure activities, from the mundane to the exotic, expose us to a growing list of pathogenic microbes, some new and many increasingly resistant to current therapies. Common pets, livestock, traveling, and cuisine all have the potential to cause illnesses that may be difficult to diagnose and treat. Engagingly written by a team of infectious disease specialists and edited by David Schlossberg, Infections of Leisure features 19 chapters focused on the infection risks associated with particular types of activities, including camping, playing sports, interacting with animals, receiving body modifications, and mountain climbing. This new edition includes vibrant, full-color images, recommended readings chosen by expert authors, and practical tips in each chapter. Useful for health care professionals, microbiologists, and infectious diseases specialists, the information in Infections of Leisure will support confident identification of leisure-associated infections and enable informed choices, as well as provide an understanding of the risks posed to human health by hobbies, exotic foods and travel.
