| book description |
This textbook explores the diverse aspects of bacterial zoonotic infections. The book is divided into two sections wherein, Section I delves into the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand bacterial zoonotic infections. It covers topics such as bacterial taxonomy, host-parasite relationship, and the spectrum of clinical manifestations. The immunology of bacterial infections is explored, along with the fascinating field of bacterial genomics and proteomics. The section also addresses the epidemiology of bacterial zoonoses, highlighting their prevalence and distribution. Diagnosis of bacterial zoonoses and the crucial issue of zoonoses and antibacterial resistance are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, prevention, surveillance, and control measures for parasitic zoonoses are explored in detail. Section II focuses specifically on bacterial zoonoses. Infections caused by both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are extensively covered. Readers will gain insights into various bacterial infections, including Staphylococcal and Streptococcal infections, Anthrax, Listeriosis, Erysipeloid, Dermatophilosis, and Rhodococcus infections among others. Notably, the book sheds light on zoonotic mycobacterial infections, spirochaetal infections such as Leptospirosis and Lyme Disease, and rickettsial infections like Spotted fever and Epidemic Typhus. Obligate intracellular bacterial zoonoses like Q-Fever, Psittacosis, Bartonellosis, and Ehrlichiosis are also covered. Furthermore, rare bacterial infections caused by Corynebacterium, Capnocytophaga, Trueperella pyogenes, Arcobacter, and Bordetella are explored. Section III focuses on future perspectives while exploring broader implications and contemporary issues including role of microbiome in health and diseases, biosafety practices for handling of zoonotic pathognes, influence of geoclimatic changes on disease emergence and the economic impact of bacterial zoonotic infections. With its comprehensive coverage and up-to-date information, this textbook serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, healthcare professionals, and individuals interested in understanding, diagnosing, and combating bacterial zoonotic infections.
