        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!

        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. As this a two volume set - higher delivery charges apply: UK: £8.00 Europe: €9.50 ROW - $15.00

        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.

        Hepatitis, Third Edition

        by Alan Hecht, D.C. and Lyle W. Horn, Ph.D.

        Hepatitis means an inflammation of the liver, but it also refers to a group of viral infections that affect the liver. There are several types of viral hepatitis, but the most common are A, B, and C. Viral hepatitis is spread through contact with infected blood, bodily fluids, or feces, though it may also result from alcohol and drug use or from other diseases. Acute hepatitis refers to the initial infection and can be mild or severe; chronic hepatitis refers to a serious condition in which the infection lasts six months or longer. Currently, vaccines are available for the prevention of hepatitis A and B viruses. This third edition of Hepatitis delves into the history, causes, and current treatments for this disease, giving valuable and up-to-date information to student researchers. Chapters include: Introduction to Hepatitis The Phases of Hepatitis Looking at the Liver Inflammation and Immune Response Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis C.

        Bananas and Plantains

        by John C Robinson, Víctor Galán Saúco

        Bananas and plantains are major fruit crops in the tropics and subtropics, making a vital contribution to the economies of many countries. In the last 15 years, substantial changes have occurred in banana production, among them the increased importance of fungal and viral diseases and their serious impact on Cavendish export cultivars, smallholder plantains and cooking bananas. Changes in production systems such as protected greenhouse cultivation, organic, fair-trade and integrated cultivation and their respective certification schemes have also become prominent. This book provides an accessible review of the scientific principles of banana production and how these relate to field practices. Revised and updated with expanded coverage of world trade statistics and policies, breeding of new cultivars in relation to disease resistance and markets, prospects for genetically-modified bananas and the increasing role of endophytes in controlling pests and diseases, this new edition is an essential resource for researchers and students in horticulture.

Most commonly caused by a viral infection, it may also result from infection with bacteria or fungus. Bacterial meningitis is usually more severe than viral meningitis and can lead to hearing loss, learning disabilities, and brain damage. If not treated promptly, it can be deadly. Meningitis, Third Edition contains the most current information on the causes, spread, treatment, and prevention of the disease, as well as illustrations and case studies.  Chapters include: Meningitis: A Silent Disease Bacterial Meningitis Viral Meningitis  Other Types of Meningitis Epidemiology Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention.

        Fifth Disease

        by Donald Emmeluth, Ed.D.

        Most people have never heard of fifth disease, yet, based on the presence of antibodies in the blood, 50 to 60 percent of all adults had the disease as children. Part of a group of six childhood diseases, fifth disease is caused by the human parvovirus B19, which belongs to the Parvoviridae virus family. For most patients, the first symptoms of the disease are mild and may include a fever, muscle aches, headaches, and lethargy. After about a week, a red rash develops on the cheeks, giving the appearance of someone who has been slapped on both cheeks. Usually a red or pink rash then spreads to the rest of the body before it fades away within five or six weeks. Fifth Disease describes the history, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of fifth disease, and the latest research. Chapters include: Introduction to Fifth Disease What Are Fifth Disease and Other Viruses Diagnostic Methods for Fifth Disease Fifth Disease Diagnosis and Symptoms Treatment for Fifth Disease Viral Replication and Fifth Disease Past and Future Concerns of Fifth Disease
