        by Patrick T K Woo, Rocco C Cipriano

        Taking a disease-based approach, Fish Viruses and Bacteria: Pathobiology and Protection focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish. The book covers well-studied, notifiable piscine viruses and bacteria, including new and emerging diseases which can become huge threats to local fish populations in new geographical regions if transported there via infected fish or eggs. A concise but thorough reference work, this book: - Covers key viral and bacterial diseases of notable fish species; - Reviews major well-established piscine pathogens as well as new, emerging and notifiable diseases; and - Contains the most up-to-date research contributed by a team of over fifty world experts. An invaluable bench book for fish health consultants, veterinarians and all those wanting instant access to information, this book is also a useful textbook for students specializing in fish health and research scientists initiating fish disease research programmes. ; Taking a disease-based approach, this book focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish.

        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.

        How do I strengthen my immune system?

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. med. Michael F. Holick

        Many patients are confused in the coronavirus crisis and ask what they can do to prevent themselves and their family from contracting the SARS-Cov-2 virus. There are now several studies that prove the influence of micronutrients such as zinc, selenium and various vitamins on the immune system and specifically on the course of viral diseases. In this brochure, successful author Uwe Gröber, pharmacist and head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine in Essen, has compiled his recommendations for strengthening the immune system. Here you can learn -why micronutrients may be considered for combatting the coronavirus, -how the micronutrients are dosed and applied, and -what effects micronutrients have on the immune system. This strengthens the immune system in the fight against the coronavirus!
