Description
Paratuberculosis affects principally cattle, goats, sheep, buffalo, deer and other ruminants. It is common worldwide and responsible for significant economic losses in the ruminant livestock industries. Paratuberculosis: Organism, Disease, Control, 2nd Edition, is still the only comprehensive text providing both historical context and the latest developments in the field. Examining the epidemiology of paratuberculosis, the organism that causes the disease, and practical aspects of its diagnosis and control, it also addresses the link between paratuberculosis in the food chain and human health implications. Key features include: – Strong foundation to update, streamline and better structure existing chapters with important new developments from the last decade; – includes new chapters on the fast-growing field of whole genome based comparative genomics, and the increasing opportunities for disease control in low-and middle-income countries. A truly comprehensive, critical reference resource, this ebook is an essential reference for large animal veterinarians, livestock industry, and those involved in the dairy and meat industries, as well as microbiologists, researchers and students in these fields. 440 p.
