Handbook of Zoonoses, Section A: Bacterial, Rickettsial, Chlamydial, and Mycotic Zoonoses: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Handbook of Zoonoses, Section A: Bacterial, Rickettsial, Chlamydial, and Mycotic Zoonoses" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This multivolume handbook presents the most authoritative and comprehensive reference work on major zoonoses of the world. The Handbook of Zoonoses covers most diseases communicable to humans, as well as those diseases common to both animals and humans. It identifies animal diseases that are host specific and reviews the effects of various human diseases on animals. Discussions address diseases that remain important public and animal health problems and the techniques that can control and prevent them. The chapters are written by internationally recognized scientists in their respective areas of disease, who work or have worked extensively in the most affected areas of the world. The emphasis for each zoonosis is on the epidemiology of the disease, the clinical syndromes and carrier states in infected animals and humans, and the most current methods for diagnosis and approaches to control. For infectious agents or biologic toxins, which may be transmitted by foods of animal origin, a strong focus is placed on food safety measures. The etiologic and therapeutic aspects of each disease important to epidemiology and control are identified.

PREFACE
HANDBOOK OF ZOONOSES, SECOND EDITION

Human beings, animals, birds, insects and arachnids, and the inanimate environment are all involved in cycles of infection and intoxication of the zoonoses. The term derived from Greek zoon (animals) and noses (diseases) literally means diseases from animals. In this handbook series, infections and diseases are considered that are naturally transmitted between animals or birds and human beings. Transmission may be direct or through arthropod vectors or environmental foci. In some, the etiologic agents exist freely in the environment from which animal or human exposures occur. Foods of animal origin may be the source of infectious agents or toxicants to people.

The number of infections and diseases which can be classified as zoonoses varies from approximately 100 (99 of the 169 infections and parasitic diseases included in Control of Communicable Diseases in Man, 15th ed., 1990) to approximately 3,000 (separately listing over 520 arboviral infections, over 2,000 salmonella serotypes, and over 200 leptospiral serovars). The importance of the zoonoses is based on their prevalence as chronic infections and incidence of new infections, the fluctuations which occur in the incidence of infections, the presence of high risk individuals within populations, the difficulties or costs encountered in attempting control, and the emergence or new recognition of infections of unassessed potential. In this handbook series, 18 bacterial, 10 foodborne, 7 chlamydial and rickettsial, and 3 mycotic diseases are considered important for specific considerations in Section A, and 42 viral diseases for consideration in Section B.

Following an introduction for each zoonosis, consideration is made of its history, etiology, epidemiology, the disease in animals, the disease in human beings, its public health aspects, and references for further study. For many of the zoonoses, reference is also made to the first edition of the Handbook Series in Zoonoses, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, published in eight volumes, 1979 to 1983.
