Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases of Livestock
By Jagadeesh Bayry
1st Edition
This book provides comprehensive knowledge on diseases in livestock that
are caused by viruses, parasites and bacteria. Emerging and re-emerging
pathogens are presented in detail for various animal groups and
in-depth insights into pathogenesis and epidemiology will be provided
for each of them. In addition, state-of-the-art treatment possibilities,
control measures as well as vaccination strategies are discussed. The
recent years have witnessed a sharp increase in the number of emerging
and re-emerging infectious diseases of livestock and many of these,
including Influenza, Corona and Hanta are of public health importance.
The reasons for this development are manifold:changes in the climate,
life cycle of vectors and increased global travel. Also, due to
extensive deforestation, livestock are increasingly coming in direct
contact with wild animals that are reservoirs of many emerging
pathogens. Recent progress in diagnosis and management of emerging
infectious diseases are also topic of this book.
