Description for Wildlife and Emerging Zoonotic Diseases
Hardback. Offers an overview of the processes of zoonotic viral emergence, the intricacies of host/virus interactions, and the role of biological transitions and modifying factors. This book explores the mechanisms and circumstances by which evolution, biology, history, and context have contrived to drive the emergence of different zoonotic agents. Series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology. Num Pages: 531 pages, 20 black & white tables, 1 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: MBNS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 167 x 241 x 35. Weight in Grams: 954.
This volume provides an overview of the processes of zoonotic viral emergence, the intricacies of host/virus interactions, and the distinct role of biological transitions and modifying factors. The process of emergence is conceptualized as two transition stages which are common and required for all disease emergence, human contact with the infectious agent and cross-species transmission of the agent, and two transition stages which are not required for emergence and appear unavailable to many zoonotic pathogens, sustained human-to-human transmission and genetic adaptation to the human host. The latter two transitions are presumably prerequisites for the pandemic emergence of a pathogen. The ... Read more
