Written by an international, interdisciplinary team of physicians,
veterinarians, virologists, medical microbiologists, and
parasitologists, Zoonoses: Infectious Diseases Transmissible from
Animals to Humans covers zoonotic pathogens as agents of emergence
and reemergence of zoonotic diseases, opportunistic zoonotic
infections, risks of iatrogenic transmission and
xenotransplantation, imported zoonotic infections, food-borne
zoonoses, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, and of
warfare. Zoonoses is a valuable physician's reference that covers
all aspects of epidemiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis
as well as therapy and prophylaxis of zoonotic diseases caused by
bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Zoonoses are a persistent
threat to the global human health Today, more than 200 diseases
occurring in humans and animals are known to be mutually
transmitted. Classical infectious diseases, such as rabies, plague,
and yellow fever, have not been eradicated despite major efforts.
New zoonotic diseases are on the increase due global conditions
such as overpopulation, wars, and food scarcity, which facilitate
human contact with rodents, stray animals, and their parasites. In
addition, humans are unwittingly becoming accidental hosts and new
links in an infectious chain by engaging in activities such as
survival training, which involves camping in open areas and
consumption of raw or insufficiently cooked food. Zoonotic
infections cause a variety of symptoms that often do not provide
clear evidence of a known disease. Zoonoses, Fourth Edition,
describes most occurring worldwide zoonosis and facilitates the
identification, diagnosis and treatment of zoonotic infections.
Written by a team of doctors, medical microbiologists and
veterinarians, this completely, revised edition covers all aspects
of the epidemiology and prevention of zoonotic diseases through
clear descriptions of various illnesses. Specifically, this fourth
edition covers zoonosis caused by * viruses, bacteria, fungi and
parasites * infections caused by animal bites * infections and
intoxications by animal foods * Iatrogenic transmission of zoonotic
pathogens Zoonoses is an indispensable reference for clinicians and
laboratorians.
