Description
Zoonoses are diseases naturally transmissible between vertebrates and man including those contracted through direct contact with infected animals or carcases, food or water contamination, or inhalation of infected dust. They are becoming an increasingly important public health issue. This
multidisciplinary book is written by recognized experts in biology, epidemiology, and human and vetinary medicine. Divided into three sections--Bacteriology, Parasitology and Virology--this book comprehensively covers all zoonoses. Each of the seventy chapters covers a separate disease, discussing
its history, the scientific basis for its management, the microbiology of the causative agent, pathogenesis, clinical features, symptoms and signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The epidemiology and epizoology of each disease is described alongside the strategies for prevention and
control.
