Veterinary Virology of Domestic and Pet Animals
摘要
This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of common, emerging, and reemerging viruses in domestic and companion animals. All aspects such as identification history, etiology, epidemiology, phylogenetics, and also practical information such as clinical signs, pathology, diagnosis, immunity, prevention and control, as well as zoonotic potential are discussed in detail for each virus. The individual sections of the book are clearly organized by animal species and cover cattle, swine, poultry, sheep, goat, horse, cat, and dog; further parts are dedicated to viruses infecting multiple species, and zoonotic viruses affecting animals and humans. In addition, a general section introduces the reader to the basics of virology, virus types, and molecular techniques.
This book is an indispensable resource for researchers, veterinarians, public health officials, animal health officials, and students of veterinary microbiology.
