Skin diseases caused by aquatic organisms are continually on the
increase owing to the great number of people who now converge on
the hydrosphere for holidays, sports and professional activities.
Aquatic skin diseases are no longer only a seasonal affliction but
can be observed at any period, thanks to the tourist boom promoting
aquatic holidaymaking throughout the year. This book aims to
contribute to the knowledge of some aquatic animals that have only
developed a poisonous apparatus to protect themselves and adapt to
their environment, as well as of the various clinical pictures
induced by different pathogenic mechanisms. Besides the afflictions
caused by biotoxins, skin reactions to microscopic organisms
present in seawater, freshwater, swimming pools and aquariums are
described, together with some non-biotic forms induced by direct
contact with salt and freshwater. A better knowledge of the aquatic
environment may help people to enjoy this enthralling habitat at
lesser risk.
