Fungal Diseases in Animals: From Infections to Prevention

Fungal Diseases in Animals

Fungal Diseases in Animals: From Infections to Prevention provides a comprehensive overview of fungal infections affecting animals, including lower vertebrates, with emphasis on their causes, transmission, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The book examines environmentally acquired fungal infections, zoonotic and zoophilic pathogens, mycotoxicoses, and antifungal resistance, while also exploring modern approaches such as genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and secretomics. Case studies and recent research further support understanding of fungal pathogens and their impact on animal health.
