Bridging Science and Policy for Animal Health Surveillance: ICAHS4 2022
The current COVID-19 pandemic has expanded lay people’s vocabulary; PCR-testing is no longer mentioned only by virologists, nor are the terms basic reproduction ratio and herd-immunity limited to epidemiologists. This expansion of vocabulary that was previously only used in specialist settings already demonstrates global, societal impact. We have learnt that it is insufficient simply to act on disease emergence and spread. More focus is needed on prevention and surveillance of the precursors of emerging infectious disease, as well as early detection. To succeed in this, it is a necessity to collaborate across sectors – academics, governments, industry and the public – in a transdisciplinary way.

Epidemiology of Avian Influenza Viruses
Avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease, characterized by intense circulation in the wild waterbird reservoirs, with periodical introductions into the domestic poultry sector. AI viruses have been the source of devastating economic losses in the poultry industry over the last three decades, and have become a major veterinary and public health concern due to their zoonotic potential. The most emblematic illustration of this impact has been the emergence of the HPAI H5N1 virus in southern China in the mid-1990s, followed by its continental spread across East and Southeast Asia, and the unprecedented epidemics recorded in 2003–2004. More recently (from 2014 to 2017), several subt...
Feminist Animal and Multispecies Studies: Critical Perspectives on Food and Eating
This book develops critical feminist animal and multispecies studies across various societal and environmental contexts. The chapters discuss timely questions broadly related to food and eating, stemming from connections drawn between critical animal studies, feminist theory, and multispecies studies. The themes explored include trans-inclusive ecofeminism, decolonial perspectives to veganism, links between the critique of ableism and animal exploitation, alternatives to dominant Western masculinities invested in meat consumption, and the politics of sex and purity in factory farming. The book explores responses to interlinked forms of exploitation by focusing on sites such as sanctuaries, educational institutions, social media, and animal advocacy.
Infectious Diseases of Wild Mammals
The previous edition of this book was an important resource and an inspiration to a generation of wildlife biologists and veterinarians. The book has now been thoroughly updated by the editors in collaboration with 68 international contributors, all of whom are noted experts in their respective areas. Coverage includes the etiology, history, distribution, epidemiology, pathology, immunity, diagnoses, treatment and control of infectious diseases of both free-ranging and captive wild mammals. Reflecting the latest research findings, the text is illustrated with photographs and photomicrographs, and is fully referenced. The book will be of interest to professionals and students in biology and veterinary medicine, and professionals in animal and public health.
