This book provides readers with information on the factors
underlying the emergence of infectious diseases originating in
animals and spreading to people. The One Health concept recognizes
the important links between human, animal, and environmental health
and provides an important strategy in epidemic mitigation and
prevention. The essential premise of the One Health concept is to
break down the silos among the different health professions and
promote transdisciplinary collaborations. These concepts are
illustrated with in-depth analyses of specific zoonotic agents and
with examples of the successes and challenges associated with
implementing One Health. The book also highlights some of the
challenges societies face in confronting several specific zoonotic
diseases. A chapter is included on comparative medicine to
demonstrate the broad scope of the One Health concept. Edited by a
team including the One Health Initiative pro bono members, the book
is dedicated to those studying zoonotic diseases and comparative
medicine in both human and veterinary medicine, to those involved
in the prevention and control of zoonotic infections and to those
in the general public interested in the visionary field of One
Health.

Over 50% of known flaviviruses have been associated with human
disease. The "Flavivirus" genus constitutes some of the most
serious human pathogens including Japanese encephalitis, dengue and
yellow fever. Flaviviruses are known for their complex life cycles
and epidemic spread, and are considered a globally-emergent viral
threat.
Detection, Diagnosis and Vaccine Development, the third volume of
The Flaviviruses details the current status of technologies for
detection and differentiation of these viruses, their use in
surveillance and outbreak investigation, and also reviews the
latest clinical research.
* Comprehensive approach to the scientific disciplines needed to
unravle the complexities of virus-host interactions
* Descibes the technologies that have contributed to our current
knowledge about the Flaviviruses
* Identifies the major problems faced in understanding the
virus-host interactins that result in disease
* An exhaustive compendium of current and past knowledge on the
Flavivirus family

Structure, Replication and Evolution is the first volume of The
Flaviviruses and presents the latest research covering the
conceptual advances on aspects such as the characterization of
virus structure, cellular receptors, mechanisms of virus entry,
host and viral components of the RNA replicase.
* Includes new, detailed information on the evolution, viral
structure and replication of the Flavivirus family
* The only complete reference book on a major virus family
* Descibes the technologies that have contributed to our current
knowledge about Flaviviruses
