The Atlas is divided into three sections. Section One provides general advice on such topics as water, food, and personal hygiene, accidents, animal and insect bites, parasitic infection, sun and heat, casual sex, blood-borne modes of infection, and medical coverage and insurance. Section Two is disease-specific and conveys need-to-know information on malaria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, meningitis, schistosomiasis (Bilharzia infection), dengue, polio, Japanese B encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, rabies, and traveler"s diarrhea. Section Three presents country-specific immunization advice, malaria advice and precautions, and a selection of other health considerations. Also included are a map and a weather chart for each country.
