Description
Goats are the predominant domestic livestock, and certainly the predominant small ruminant, in most of Asia, Africa and the warmer parts of Europe. Important for meat, milk, fibre and leather production, their widescale production and husbandry allows many opportunities for the spread of disease between livestock and their keepers.
Taking a One Health approach to the issue, this book provides clear, accurate and comprehensive coverage of the zoonotic diseases of goats. Including information on aetiology, the epidemiology and transmission cycle, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention and control strategies, the book:
- Helps readers quickly locate information about the disease's severity, mode of spread, treatment, and safety precautions;
- Discusses the importance of educating animal owners about the public health implications of zoonotic diseases;
- Reviews bacterial, viral, parasitic, rickettsial, and fungal diseases.
An invaluable resource for veterinary practitioners and public health experts around the world, this book also provides a useful reference for researchers and students of animal disease and human health.
