        Chicken Pox, Second Edition
        January 2020

        Chicken Pox, Second Edition

        by Patrick Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Until relatively recently, chicken pox was a rite of passage for children and was often looked upon as just a nuisance, although this illness can cause complications in some people. Though the development and use of a chicken pox vaccine has reduced the number of chicken pox cases, the unvaccinated remain vulnerable. In addition, shingles, a painful condition that can arise after an initial chicken pox infection, is a concern, particularly in older people. Chicken Pox, Second Edition presents an overview of this disease caused by a herpesvirus known as the varicella-zoster virus, explaining the signs and symptoms of the disease, how it spreads, how it is treated, and how the development of a vaccine has affected the incidence of chicken pox.  Chapters include: What Is Chicken Pox? The History of Chicken Pox Chicken Pox in Young Children Chicken Pox in Infants and Adults How Is Chicken Pox Diagnosed and Treated? How Is Chicken Pox Prevented? What Is Shingles? The Future of Chicken Pox and Shingles.

        Bacterial Pili

        Structure, Synthesis and Role in Disease

        by Edited by Michele A Barocchi, John L Telford

        Bacterial pili play important roles as environmental sensors, in host colonization and in biofilm formation, enabling bacteria to interact with the environment, with surfaces and with other bacteria and host cells. Most bacteria, both Gram positive and Gram negative, and almost all bacterial pathogens, are piliated. This book discusses the synthesis, structure, evolution, function and role in pathogenesis of these complex structures, and their basis for vaccine development and therapeutics for Streptococcus pathogens. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and students of medical microbiology.

        One Health

        The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches

        by Jakob Zinsstag, Esther Schelling, Lisa Crump, Maxine Whittaker, Marcel Tanner, Craig Stephen

        One Health, the concept of combined veterinary and human health, has now expanded beyond emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses to incorporate a wider suite of health issues. Retaining its interdisciplinary focus which combines theory with practice, this new edition illustrates the contribution of One Health collaborations to real-world issues such as sanitation, economics, food security and vaccination programmes. It includes more non-infectious disease issues and climate change discussion alongside revised case studies and expanded methodology chapters to draw out implications for practice. Promoting an action-based, solutions-oriented approach, One Health: The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches highlights the lessons learned for both human and animal health professionals and students.

        Homoeopathy Add-on

        Complementary recommendations to conventional medicine

        by Dr. Markus Wiesenauer

        Vitamin A acid for acne, beta-blockers for high blood pressure, triptans for migraine – even patients treated with synthetic chemical substances may derive great benefit from a complementary homoeopathic medication, since it can - reduce the duration and dose of the allopathic medication, - increase tolerability and treatment adherence, - decrease undesirable effects, - accelerate recovery. This book directs the reader to the correct homoeopathic add-on medication for 70 common indications. Hot off the press are the sections on the homoeopathic treatment of local and systemic reactions to vaccines and the elimination of vaccine excipients. In addition, QR codes lead to the taster version of the German online database “HVKompass Homoeopathie” (guidance on advising people about homoeopathy)

        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.

        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.

        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.

        Livestock Production and Climate Change

        by Edited by Pradeep K. Malik, Raghavendra Bhatta, Junichi Takahashi, Richard Kohn, Cadaba S Prasad.

        In a changing climate, livestock production is expected to exhibit dual roles of mitigation and adaptation in order to meet the challenge of food security. This book approaches the issues of livestock production and climate change through three sections: I. Livestock production, II. Climate change and, III. Enteric methane amelioration. Section I addresses issues of feed quality and availability, abiotic stress (heat and nutritional) and strategies for alleviation, livestock generated nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, and approaches for harnessing the complex gut microbial diversity. Section II discusses the effects of climate change on livestock diversity, farm animal reproduction, impact of meat production on climate change, and emphasising the role of indigenous livestock in climatic change to sustain production. Section III deals with the most recent approaches to amelioration of livestock methane such as breeding for low methane emissions, reductive acetogenesis, immunization/vaccine-based concepts and archaea phage therapy.
