 Avian Influenza
by David E. Swayne
This is the first comprehensive guide covering the
full spectrum of this complex and increasingly high-profile disease,
its history and its treatment and control. All aspects of avian
influenza are dealt with in depth, systematically covering biology,
virology, diagnostics, ecology, epidemiology, clinical medicine,
and the control. The book fuses coverage of the latest discoveries
in the basic sciences with a practical approach to dealing with
the disease in a clinical setting, and providing instruction and
guidance for veterinarians and government animal health officials
encountering this disease in the field. The book provides the reader
with a global perspective, bringing together chapters written by
leading animal health researchers and veterinarians with significant
experience working with this disease. Providing a summary and synthesis
of important data and research on this virus, its impact on both
wild and domesticated birds, and approaches to controlling the spread
of the disease, this will be an invaluable resource for all veterinarians,
scientists, animal health professionals, and public health officials
dealing with this virus.
