Reviews for Emerging Zoonoses
“This book discusses many of the most prominent and some less prominent zoonoses that have affected mankind. … Although this book could be read by lay persons, it is most suitable for microbiologists and practitioners of infectious diseases. … I enjoyed this book.” (Jack M. Bernstein, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
