        Mononucleosis, Third Edition

        by Janet Decker, Ph.D. and Alan Hecht, D.C.

        Often called the "kissing disease" due to its transmission through saliva, mononucleosis is a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Many are familiar with mononucleosis, by either having suffered from it themselves or knowing a friend who has. Although most people who suffer from mononucleosis will recover fully, the virus remains in their body, and can contribute to long-term health concerns. Mononucleosis, Third Edition explores the microbiology of the virus as well as treatment and prevention options.  Chapters include: Infectious Mononucleosis and Epstein-Barr Virus The Discovery of Epstein-Barr Virus The Life of Epstein-Barr Virus Immune System Response to Epstein-Barr Virus Signs and Symptoms EBV Transmission and Latent Infection Diagnosis of Infectious Mononucleosis Treatments for Infectious Mononucleosis Epstein-Barr Virus and Cancer Epstein-Barr Virus and Other Diseases.

        Infectious Fungi, Second Edition

        by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D. and David L. Brock

        Fungi are much more than moldy creatures that decompose old food. In fact, infectious fungi are among the most common disease-causing agents in the world. Whether afflicted with ringworm or thrush, nearly all people will contract a fungus at least once. While most cases produce only annoying consequences, some can be quite deadly. Millions in the tropics die each year from this disease, and the problem is becoming more and more common in the United States. In Infectious Fungi, Second Edition students will learn about the symptoms, ailments, and treatment options of a variety of infectious fungi, as well as the challenges now facing the treatment of this disease and the growing threat to public health.

        Biology and Integrated Management of Turfgrass Diseases

        by Gary W. Beehag, Nathan R. Walker, Percy T.W. Wong, Jyri Kaapro

        Cultivated turfgrass is an assemblage of mown, perennial grasses or prostrate-growing forb plants and a suite of microbes all competing with each other in a common environment. This book approaches turfgrass diseases from an ecological perspective and explains with examples how wild plants and microbes have co-evolved. It addresses the identification, biology and integrated management of both common turfgrass diseases and newly emergent diseases. It includes the common and lesser-known turfgrass species, their surrounding environment and the range of beneficial and pathogenic microbes which in combination explain why disease occurs. For disease identification purposes, fungal diseases are arranged according to their predominantly cool season and warm season occurrence. Turfgrass bacterial and viral diseases, and plant parasitic nematodes are also covered. Written by a team of international authors, it combines technical expertise and practical experience. Essential for anyone involved in managing turfgrass, this book provides the know-how to identify the early warning signs of diseases, in order to manipulate the environment and minimise the damage.

        Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Livestock (2 volume set)

        by P Lefèvre, J Blancou, R Chermette, G Uilenberg

        Translated from the French original published by Lavoisier In this new English language edition all the chapters have been updated with new references and additional chapters written by authors in the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. In recent years infectious livestock diseases have swept across many countries, often with dramatic consequences for animal and public health. With climatic changes modifying the distribution of vector-borne diseases, emerging novel pathogens can spread rapidly in new areas, at the same time as resistance spreads in places where they are established. This calls for new approaches for the control of parasitic diseases. This book presents in detail over 130 viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases of large livestock species from all over the world, accompanied by very valuable and informative illustrations and photographs. Particular attention is also paid to the role of wildlife in their epidemiology, stressing the potential zoonotic characteristics of diseases where applicable and their effects on humans.
