        Rabies, Second Edition
        January 2021

        Rabies, Second Edition

        by Christine Adamec and Thomas E. Kienzle, Ph.D.

        Rabies is a remarkable virus with a long history. Most often transmitted to humans via the bite of a rabid animal, the disease travels through the nervous system to the brain, where it replicates and eventually causes death. While rabies is treatable if detected early, there is no treatment after symptoms appear. Today rabies continues to be a significant health concern, especially in underdeveloped countries where it causes thousands of deaths per year. Complete with statistics and trends, Rabies, Second Edition provides a thorough analysis of this dangerous disease, from prevention and treatment to recent research and developments.Chapters include: Stages of Rabies Infection Epidemiology of Rabies Diagnosing Rabies Prevention, Vaccination, and Treatment of Rabies.

        Conventional plant breeding alone can no longer sustain the rising global demand for food. Genetic engineering technology makes it possible to develop new crop varieties with improved yield performance, specific quality attributes (external and internal in vegetable crops), resistance to diseases and insect pests, and environmental stresses. Genetic engineering technology for developing GM crops is complementary to genome editing and other breeding technologies. In addition to food requirements, transgenic crops have the possibility to carry edible vaccines and therapeutic proteins, to help combat human disease and malnutrition. This book reviews the importance and safety of transgenic vegetable crops and covers a wide variety of crops and different technologies. It includes: Genetic engineering in tomato, eggplant, peppers, amaranth, cauliflower, carrot, cucurbits, potato, tropical tubers and melons. Transgenic resistance to viral diseases. Embryogenic cell suspension culture. Genome editing and CRISPR/Cas9. Molecular techniques for biofortification. RNAi strategies for vegetable crop improvement. Designing futuristic vegetable crop varieties. This book is suitable for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology as well as practitioners in vegetable breeding and seed production.

        Bovine Tuberculosis

        by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow

        This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

        Yellow Fever, Second Edition

        by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D.

        Caused by a virus that is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, yellow fever gets its name for the jaundice it causes its victims. This hemorrhagic illness has plagued humans throughout history, and before the development of a yellow fever vaccine, the mortality rate from this disease was high. Tropical nations now prevent epidemic yellow fever levels through vaccination, and travelers to these areas are advised to take precautions. Yellow Fever, Second Edition explores both the historical and epidemiological aspects of this disease. Colorful photographs, maps, and illustrations provide important explanations of various aspects of yellow fever, and information on vaccination, treatment, prevention, and up-to-date statistics on worldwide incidences are provided. Chapters include: The Yellow Fever Disease Disease Course and Epidemiology Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention Yellow Fever and Other Modern Plagues The Impact of Diseases on History Future Directions in Controlling Viral Diseases.

        Mumps

        by Alan Hecht, D.C.

        Once a common childhood illness, mumps, also known as epidemic parotitis, has become less frequent since the development of an effective vaccine that has greatly diminished the occurrence of the disease in the United States. Even with the mumps vaccination program, however, outbreaks of mumps continue to occur throughout the United States. Many nations do not have an effective mumps vaccination program, and infants, children, and young adults in these locations are at risk for developing not only viral meningitis from the mumps virus but other complications following infection, including inflammation of the testes and ovaries, pancreatitis, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and deafness. Mumps covers the history of the disease, its current treatment, its prevention, and the forecasts for controlling mumps worldwide. Chapters and topics include: An Overview of Mumps The History of Mumps The Mumps Virus Epidemiology of Mumps Mumps Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Complications Treatment and Prevention of Mumps The Future of Mumps.

        Rubella and Rubeola, Second Edition

        by Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D.

        Rubella and rubeola were once commonly thought of as childhood diseases, but these viral infections pose a threat to children and adults alike. These illnesses had been largely brought under control in developed nations through widespread vaccinations, but in recent years there have been outbreaks due to an increased number of people refusing vaccination and parents refusing to vaccinate their children. Although both diseases are known commonly as the measles, the viruses that cause them are not closely related. "German measles" (rubella) is caused by rubivirus, and the red measles (rubeola) is caused by morbilivirus. Rubella and Rubeola, Second Edition takes a look at the history, pathology, potential complications, prevention, and treatment of these diseases. Chapters include: An Ancient Plague Viral Diseases Rubeola: The Red Measles Rubella: The "German Measles" Epidemiology Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention Future Directions in Controlling Viral Diseases.

        Diphtheria, Second Edition

        by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which attacks the respiratory system. Although the earliest accounts of diphtheria date back at least 2,000 years, this disease was first associated with major epidemics in Europe during the 16th century. By the 18th century, diphtheria became a major cause of childhood illness and death in the New World. With the advent of widespread vaccination in the 1920s, the number of cases and deaths dropped dramatically. However, in areas where vaccination rates drop, diphtheria can rapidly become reestablished, as seen in the late 1990s in several former Soviet republics. Diphtheria, Second Edition describes the disease, the bacteria that causes it, and the development of effective treatments.Chapters include: History of Diphtheria How Does Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Cause  Disease? How Is Diphtheria Treated? How Is Diphtheria Prevented? Resurgence of Diphtheria in the Former Soviet Union, Yemen, Venezuela, and Bangladesh Uses of Diphtheria Toxin.

        Polio, Third Edition

        by Alan Hecht, D.C.

        Until the middle of the twentieth century, polio affected people all over the world. The disease, caused by a virus in the genus Enterovirus, often left its survivors with weakened muscles or varying degrees of paralysis. In their later years, many once-healthy survivors experienced a condition known as post-polio syndrome. Once effective vaccines were developed, polio was eradicated in the United States and other countries, although it still remains a threat in a few developing countries. Polio, Third Edition contains new illustrations and updated coverage of all aspects of this disease, including the latest vaccination information, world outbreak and immunization statistics, and a progress report on international efforts to eradicate polio. Chapters include: The History of Polio The Transmission of Polio and How It Affects the Body Vaccines and How They Work Just When We Thought It Was Safe: Post-Polio Syndrome What Lies Ahead? The Future of Polio.

        Whooping Cough, Second Edition

        by Patrick G. Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Whooping cough, also called pertussis, is a highly contagious disease caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. Characterized by severe coughing fits, whooping cough can lead to pneumonia, convulsions, encephalopathy, and, in rare cases, death. Since most infections occur in unvaccinated infants and children, vaccination is recommended for this highly contagious disease for infants starting at 2 months of age, with booster shots throughout childhood. Although whooping cough is more common in undeveloped nations, it is on the rise in the United States, with more than 15,000 cases in the country in 2006 compared to 1,000 in 1976. Whooping Cough explores both the historical and epidemiological aspects of this disease as well as its biology, providing information on its prevalence, treatment, vaccination, and prevention. Chapters include: What Is Whooping Cough? The History of Whooping Cough The Biology of Whooping Cough The Toxins of Bordetella Pertussis Diagnosis and Treatment of Whooping Cough Prevention of Whooping Cough Future Prospects and Concerns Regarding Whooping Cough.
