Description
Pathology and Epidemiology of Aquatic Animal Diseases for Practitioners provides information on the diseases and applied epidemiology of all aquatic animal taxa, including invertebrates and vertebrates, along with information on applied epidemiology, acknowledging the One Health concept, and discussion on probabilities of disease outbreaks occurring and assesses the economic costs of treating those outbreaks, if applicable. The ebook looks at the pathology of major aquatic taxa and their associated infectious diseases―parasitic, viral, and bacterial―and non-infectious diseases. Each includes an overview, host range and transmission, signs and diagnosis, differentials, and treatment and management. Key features include: – Echinoderms, including crinoidea (crinoids, sea lilies, feather stars, and asteroidea), sea stars/starfish, and ophiuroidea (brittle stars and basket stars); – reptiles, including turtles (freshwater and marine), crocodilians, marine iguanas, and sea snakes; – pinnipeds, including otariidae (eared seals), odobenidae (walruses), phocidae (earless seals), mustelidae (otters), and sirenia (manatees and dugongs). A highly useful reference for veterinary practitioners, academic staff, and researchers. 447 p.
