Emerging Trends in Veterinary Virology


Book Description

Advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, virology, and structural biology have enabled the researchers in veterinary medicine to make many exciting discoveries that have, in some cases, conceptually revolutionized our understanding of the discipline. Emerging Trends in Veterinary Virology is a review of selected topics about viral infections in animals. 11 chapters cover recent findings about specific viruses that infect a variety of hosts. The contents cover several types of veterinary infections in birds (Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), avian leucosis), cats (feline rabies), dogs (canine distemper), bovines (viral leukemia) and equines (hendra virus disease). Additionally, special topics such as the epidemiology of veterinary zoonoses and SARS are also covered. The book provides updated information for researchers (virologists, microbiologists), students and veterinarians, alike.

Veterinary Virology


Book Description

Veterinary Virology deals with basic biomedical virology and the clinical discipline of infectious diseases. The book discusses the principles of virology as effecting future developments in the search for preventive and management of infectious diseases in animals, whether singly or as a whole herd or flock. Part I explains the principles of animal virology including the structure, composition, classification, nomenclature, cultivation, and assay of viruses. This part also discusses viral genetics, replication, and evolution (including mutation and genetic engineering). The book also reviews the pathogenesis of viruses, host resistance and susceptibility, as well as the mechanisms of persistent infections and tumor induction. Part II deals with viruses found in domestic animals; this part also explains in detail the properties, replication methods, pathogenesis, immunity, diagnosis, and control of some common viruses. The book discusses some other families of viruses of which no members are yet known as to have caused serious or important diseases in animals. Veterinarians, immunologists, virologists, molecular researchers, students, and academicians in the discipline of virology and cellular biology, as well as livestock owners will find this book helpful.




Critical Needs for Research in Veterinary Science


Book Description

Research in veterinary science is critical for the health and well-being of animals, including humans. Food safety, emerging infectious diseases, the development of new therapies, and the possibility of bioterrorism are examples of issues addressed by veterinary science that have an impact on both human and animal health. However, there is a lack of scientists engaged in veterinary research. Too few veterinarians pursue research careers, and there is a shortage of facilities and funding for conducting research. This report identifies questions and issues that veterinary research can help to address, and discusses the scientific expertise and infrastructure needed to meet the most critical research needs. The report finds that there is an urgent need to provide adequate resources for investigators, training programs, and facilities involved in veterinary research.




Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic Microbiology


Book Description

In recent years, advanced molecular techniques in diagnostic microbiology have been revolutionizing the practice of clinical microbiology in the hospital setting. Molecular diagnostic testing in general and nucleic acid-based amplification methods in particular have been heralded as diagnostic tools for the new millennium. This third edition covers not only the most recent updates and advances, but details newly invented omic techniques, such as next generation sequencing. It is divided into two distinct volumes, with Volume 1 describing the techniques, and Volume 2 addressing their applications in the field. In addition, both volumes focus more so on the clinical relevance of the test results generated by these techniques than previous editions.

Veterinary Virology


Book Description

Completely rewritten, this edition has expanded coverage of zoonotic viruses and the diseases they cause, and viruses and viral diseases of laboratory animals, poultry, fish, and wildlife. The concept of new emerging and reemerging viral diseases reflects the new perspective this concept has brought to veterinary and zoonotic virology and related fields.Part I presents fundamental principles of virology related to animal infection and disease. Part II details the properties and clinical features of the viruses that afflict animals and describes their treatment and control. - Comprehensive coverage of animal viruses, viral diseases, and viral zoonoses - Covers veterinary and zoonotic virology from the perspective of pathogenesis of viral infections, as well as from the perspective of disease prevention and control




Emerging Viral Diseases


Book Description

In the past half century, deadly disease outbreaks caused by novel viruses of animal origin - Nipah virus in Malaysia, Hendra virus in Australia, Hantavirus in the United States, Ebola virus in Africa, along with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), several influenza subtypes, and the SARS (sudden acute respiratory syndrome) and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) coronaviruses - have underscored the urgency of understanding factors influencing viral disease emergence and spread. Emerging Viral Diseases is the summary of a public workshop hosted in March 2014 to examine factors driving the appearance, establishment, and spread of emerging, re-emerging and novel viral diseases; the global health and economic impacts of recently emerging and novel viral diseases in humans; and the scientific and policy approaches to improving domestic and international capacity to detect and respond to global outbreaks of infectious disease. This report is a record of the presentations and discussion of the event.




EMERGING INFECTIOUS COVID-19 (Causes and Therapeutic Approaches)


Book Description

Preface: There are very little books, text books, hand books and reference books available on Coronavirus Diseases, COVID-19 in terms of dedicated monographs on particular topics. The present conceptualized edited book dedicated to under graduate medical students, post graduate bioscience students and research scholars for the applicability during their dissertation or pre-doctoral programs. Therefore, the book focused on the integrated aspects of ongoing infectious Pandemic COVID-19 of different origins in global perspectives and more especially in the Indian scenario impelled me to produce this work in the form a book. This book is written with the objectives to deliver the fundamental knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 caused current COVID-19 Pandemic, its emergence, spread, causes, Government initiatives as precautionary measures through social distancing and lockdown, herbal, ayurvedic, allopathic and associated multifaceted therapeutic efforts during hospitalization and strategic vaccination to combat COVID-19. The effect of current pandemic on school and higher education teaching learning system which was a major challenge and how it was overcome by adopting and innovative and applicable E-based teaching-learning as an opportunity during COVID-19 also included in the current book. As the book entitled “Emerging Infectious Covid-19: Causes and Therapeutic Approaches”, therefore authors covered all the dimension related to COVID-19 in the present book and compiled the information, scientific findings, reported clinical observations in terms of sources of infection, disease symptoms, causes, epidemiology, precautionary and control measures along with the recent advances in therapeutic approaches meticulously. Thus the book compiled here, itself holding a diverse but integrated scientific data and knowledge of hazardous viruses, and also providing practical understanding of these hazards as utmost necessity to protecting the health of humans, society, country and ecosystems for the holistic and sustainable development. The book has been prepared in accordance with the new concept of research dealing an introduction to complete aspects of the major causes and cure of infectious COVID-19.
