Summary


Zoonoses are diseases and infections which are transmitted between vertebrate animals and man. Infections can be inconvenient or life-threatening and may be transmitted by companion animals, agricultural animals, or in food. Since contact with animals is common place for most people, healthcare professionals frequently encounter patients with such infections and knowledge of these diseases and their treatment is thus essential.
Zoonoses is an excellent introduction to this subject written in an accessible, practical style. Included is a concise guide to zoonotic infections and the medicines used in their treatment, zoonoses in companion animals, zoonoses in agricultural animals and zoonoses in food. Case studies that support the text are also featured, making this book especially relevant for pharmacists, preregistration and undergraduate pharmacy students and other healthcare professionals.
