Recognizing the significant advances made in the field of animal
genetics in the ten years since the first edition of Genetics of
the Dog, this new edition of the successful 2001 book provides a
comprehensive update on the subject, along with new material on
topics of current and growing interest. Existing chapters on
essential topics such as immunogenetics, genetics of diseases,
developmental genetics and the genetics of behaviour have been
fully updated, while new authors report on the latest advances in
areas such as genetic diversity of dog breeds, canine genomics,
olfactory genetics and cancer genetics.
The promotion of maternal health and mortality reduction is of
worldwide importance, and constitutes a vital part of the UN
Millennium Development Goals. The highest maternal mortality rates
are in developing countries, where global and regional initiatives
are needed to improve the systems and practices involved in
maternal care and medical access. Taking a practical policy
approach, this book covers the background and concepts underlying
efforts to improve maternal and perinatal mortality, the current
global situation and problems that prevent progress. It includes
case studies and examples of successful strategies, recommends good
practices, and provides a critical analysis of knowledge gaps to
inform areas for future research.
