"Zoonoses are diseases naturally transmissible between vertebrate an imals and man including those transmitted by direct contact with infect ed animals or carcases, by food or water contamination, and by inhalati on of infected dust. They are increasingly important in public health i ssues. Divided into three sections along the lines of bacteriology, par asitology and virology, this book comprehensively provides a systematic , cross disciplinary approach to the science and control of all zoonose s, written by international specialists in human and veterinary medicin e. Chapters cover the history of each disease, the scientific basis fo r the control of zoonoses, the microbiology of the causative agent, pat hogenesis, clinical features, symptoms and signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The epidemiology of each disease is described alongside the strategies for prevention and control. Each of these chapters have been updated for the second edition, and the book also includes new cha pters on important public health topics such as interdisciplinary or po licy issues as well as new chapters on emerging zoonoses such as SARS a nd other important emerging diseases and trends"-- Provided by publi sher.
