Abstract

Esta obra busca motivar el uso de técnicas para entender la epidemiología y la economía veterinaria como un todo. Este documento está dividido en tres partes: la conceptualización de epidemiología veterinaria y la forma simbiótica como la economía de salud hace parte de esta ciencia, seguido por la descripción general de los ámbitos de la economía de salud, para finalizar con los tres grandes espacios de aplicación de la economía veterinaria: determinante de enfermedad, impacto de enfermedad y toma de decisiones.

Abstract

The Role of Animals in Emerging Viral Diseases presents what is currently known about the role of animals in the emergence or re-emergence of viruses including HIV-AIDS, SARS, Ebola, avian flu, swine flu, and rabies. It presents the structure, genome, and methods of transmission that influence emergence and considers non-viral factors that favor emergence, such as animal domestication, human demography, population growth, human behavior, and land-use changes. When viruses jump species, the result can be catastrophic, causing disease and death in humans and animals. These zoonotic outbreaks

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive but concise overview on the economically important emerging cattle pox virus derived Lumpy Skin Disease, including the characteristics of causative agent, description of clinical signs in cattle, pathology and histopathology, immunity, geographical distribution, epidemiology and transmission pathways, control and eradication of the disease. In addition the recent developments in vaccination, mathematical modeling and risk assessment are discussed. Lumpy Skin Disease currently spreads aggressively across the Middle and Near East. The first incursion to the European Union territory occurred in Greece in autumn 2015. The book targets clinicians and field veterinarians in Lumpy Skin Disease affected regions, veterinary authorities as well as advanced students in veterinary medicine and virology.

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage, qui constitue le deuxième volume d’Histoire et Nature paru aux PUR en 2011, est consacré aux aléas biologiques. La Nature, en effet, ne se limite pas à la matière qui la compose ni aux forces agissant sur elle, elle inclut les organismes vivants, à commencer par les agents pathogènes qui se développent au détriment de l’être humain et de ses animaux. Si l’on retient la définition selon laquelle la Nature est tout ce qui n’a pas besoin de l’être humain pour être, alors la maladie sur le plan individuel et les épidémies ou épizooties sur le plan collectif sont des aléas naturels auxquels les sociétés humaines ont été d’autant plus soumises qu’elles n’ont pas eu de prise sur eux jusqu’à une époque récente. À ce titre, les crises sanitaires ont contribué de façon autonome à modeler l’évolution des sociétés. L’esprit qui avait présidé à l’élaboration du premier volume a été respecté. Il s’agit du choix d’une approche plurielle, largement ouverte à des traditions épistémologiques et à des outils de recherche souvent différents et parfois éloignés sur les plans méthodologiques ou disciplinaires. Le résultat apparaît à l’image de cette variété, multiple et fragmenté. Néanmoins, le lecteur se rendra compte au fil des chapitres que les points de vue se répondent, que les analyses se conjuguent et que, finalement, les éclats qui composent l’ensemble reflètent avec plus de force l’objet placé en leur centre. Un objet qui est double, puisqu’il s’agit de la maladie en tant que fait collectif et du corps malade dans ses dimensions historique, sociale et culturelle. Autrement dit, la crise sanitaire dévoile le corps tout autant que le corps, par les marques qu’il porte ou par sa position dans l’espace, révèle la crise sanitaire. Or ce corps disparu demeure paradoxalement quelque chose de vivant à cause de la maladie, fût-il réduit à des ossements ou à une citation dans un texte.

Abstract

This book is the second volume in the series Livestock Diseases and Management, and reviews the importance and implications of animal origin viral zoonoses. It also highlights the specific etiology and epidemiology of these viral infections and discusses their various biological and mechanical transmission mechanisms. Further, the book reviews various measures for controlling viral zoonoses and examines novel therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Discussing recent studies on the pathogenesis and host immune response to these infections, it underscores the importance of using vaccines against these viral diseases to reduce the risk of them being transmitted to humans. Lastly, it describes in detail the challenges posed by these viral infections and our readiness to face them.

Abstract

The book begins with a review of zoonotic pandemics of the past: the “Black Death” or bubonic plague of the Middle Ages, the Spanish Influenza pandemic (derived from avian influenza) of the early 20th century, to the more modern pandemic of AIDS/HIV infection, which originated in Africa from primates. However, the majority of chapters focus on more recent zoonoses, which have been recognized since the late 20th century to the present: SARS and MERS coronaviruses New avian influenza viruses The tick-borne Henan fever virus from China The tick-borne Heartland virus from the United States Recently recognized bacterial pathogens, such as Streptococcus suis from pigs. In addition, reemergence of established zoonoses that have expanded their niche are reviewed, such as the spread of Zika virus and Chikungunya virus to the Western Hemisphere, and the emergence and spread of Ebola virus infection in Africa. A chapter is also devoted to an overview of the mechanisms and various types of animals involved in the transmission of diseases to humans, and the potential means of control and prevention. Many endemic and sporadic diseases are still transmitted by animals, through either direct or indirect contact, and zoonoses are estimated to account for about 75% of all new and emerging infectious diseases. It is predicted by public health experts that the next major pandemic of infectious disease will be of animal origin, making Emerging Zoonoses: A Worldwide Perspective a crucial resource to all health care specialists by providing them with much needed information on these zoonotic diseases.
