Fundamentals Of Veterinary Microbiology (eBook)

Veterinary has made many important contributions to animal and human health. Included are dramatic reductions in animal sources of human exposure to tuberculosis and brucellosis. Safe and effective vaccines have been developed for prevention of many companion (pet) animal diseases-e.g., canine distemper and feline distemper. 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. This field synthesizes concepts from bacteriology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetics, mycology and virology. A major challenge to veterinary medicine is adequately attending to the diversity of animal species. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of veterinary disease and medicine. It discusses different microscopy techniques in the veterinary diagnosis, diagnostic using transmission electron microscopy, veterinary dysmorphology, transthyretin, viral gastroenteritis in livestock animals and thermographic applications. It also deals with fetal medicine and obstetrics, traditional medicine and modern medicine. The book reflects the diverse and dynamic research being undertaken in a variety of different species. It is designed to provide in-depth knowledge about the various concepts and methodologies of this field to the students. The purpose of this book is to provide readers the basic information about this subject. The topics covered in it deal with the fundamental subjects of the area. Some of the themes covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
