Microbial Zoonoses and Sapronoses

Microbial Zoonoses & Sapronoses: Emerging Infections, Epidemiology and Disease Control

This book explores microbial diseases transmitted from animals to humans and infections acquired from environmental sources. It examines emerging and re-emerging pathogens, their ecological and epidemiological characteristics, transmission routes, diagnosis and treatment, providing a broad reference for understanding infectious disease risks in human and veterinary medicine.
