Zoonotic diseases pose a serious threat to global health and
economy. Domestic and wild birds play crucial roles in transmission
and spread of important zoonotic pathogens, with significant
implications on human and avian health. Although zoonotic diseases
have been extensively studied, information on various aspects of
avian zoonotic pathogens have not been revisited or revised to any
great extent. This book is a comprehensive and updated compilation
of important zoonotic diseases that are transmitted by domestic and
wild birds, and consists of 21 chapters that meticulously describe
the (i) etiology and evolution, (ii) complex epidemiology, such as
migration pathways in context of disease transmission, (iii)
pathogenesis, (iv) clinical signs and necropsy findings, (v)
diagnostics including latest molecular assays, and (vi)
preventative and control strategies, with an emphasis on
therapeutics and prophylaxis, of important zoonotic pathogens
(bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral) of avian origin in humans
and birds. Each chapter is aptly supported by interactive tables
and figures, and features an updated reference section. This book
aims to create awareness and enlighten students of veterinary and
human medicine on the role of birds in zoonoses, and would serve as
a useful reference for working veterinarians, human doctors, and
public health experts.
