Vorliegende in englischer Sprache verfasste Arbeit führt zunächst in die Grundlagen der übersetzungsbezogenen Terminologiearbeit und in die modernen Hilfsmittel des Übersetzers nach dem medientechnischen Paradigmenwechsel ein. Anschließend werden die Infektionskrankheiten Malaria, Schlafkrankheit und Ebola umfassend mit Blick auf Geschichte, Ursachen, Verlauf, Diagnose und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten vorgestellt. Es schließt sich ein ca. 120 Einträge umfassender englisch-deutscher Terminologieteil zu den Kernbegrifflichkeiten im Sachbereich der vorgestellten Krankheiten an.
