This book serves as a comprehensive yet concise reference guide reviewing the latest knowledge on bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infectious diseases of old world dromedary camels. Pathogen etiology, clinical manifestations and diagnostic techniques are provided for each pathogen and disease prevention and treatment strategies are discussed. Despite a steady increase in camel husbandry worldwide, the pathologies of camel diseases are still relatively under investigated in comparison to other livestock and companion animals. With an ongoing worldwide prevalence increase, infectious diseases are a constant threat to animal and human health. In recent years dromedary camels have become a focus of increasing public health interest since they have been considered the direct source of zoonotic transmission of MERS-CoV to humans. Along these lines, the book covers topics related to zoonotic infections associated with camels. This book offers a valuable source of information for veterinary clinicians, researchers, graduate students, veterinary technicians and interested laymen.

Helminths include one of the most diverse and geographically widespread groups of parasites which infect humans and animals. About 100 species have been reported from humans, usually producing asymptomatic infection or mild symptoms. However, about 20 species are of public health importance causing severe or even fatal infections. In many parts of Africa parasitic helminths are responsible for enormous economic losses, hampering rural development programmes and reducing the pace of economic growth. Many parasitic helminths are either zoonoses (diseases naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and man) or have evolved from animal parasites. The modification of the environment through ...

Traité de toxicologie générale

Ce livre a pour objectif de proposer un panorama à la fois vaste et précis des divers aspects de la toxicologie, sous ses multiples implications. Il appuie ses informations sur une littérature scientifique récente très abondante, susceptible de servir de base initiale de données. Le plan peut combiner les formes alphabétique et idéologique. Le contenu est suffisamment précis et développé dans les chapitres relatifs aux outils mathématiques (statistiques, modélisation...) pour constituer à la fois une initiation pédagogique et un instrument de travail. D'autres rubriques sont organisées par dossiers d'exemples concrets voire par récits plus anecdotiques (histoire, aspects insolites). Des chapitres totalement originaux traitent des références toxicologique inattendues (au théâtre et à l'opéra par exemple), et d'autres offrent une initiation aux domaines spécialisés (législation, écotoxicologie planétaire, toxicologie médicale, gestion économique, psychotoxicologie).
