Infos

Companion Animal Zoonoses is a comprehensive resource on
diseases transmissible between animals and humans. Presenting
detailed prevention and control strategies for zoonotic diseases,
the book is an in-depth guide to practical information on the
spread of disease between pet animals and humans. This relevant
work provides up-to-date information on emerging issues, disease
incidence and risk, and management measures.

Covering the complete range of companion animal zoonoses, each
topic begins with information on etiology, geographic distribution,
epidemiology, and pathophysiology. The discussion then moves into
clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management, alongside
prevention information for both animals and humans. Companion
Animal Zoonoses is an essential reference for practicing
veterinarians, public health veterinarians, and veterinary
students. It will also appeal to physicians who wish to better
understand zoonotic diseases.
