Prakash Bisen is highly qualified to write a book on the topic of emerging epidemics. His extensive and diverse experiences as a researcher, along with his major contributions to the field through his research papers, patents, and books, make him well qualified.
This book was published in 2013. Although the book is only three years old, new developments are constantly made on the topic of emerging infectious diseases. Therefore, it would be good to supplement this book with books and scholarly articles published at a more recent date when completing a research project on newly discovered infectious diseases.
