Tropical Veterinary Diseases: Control and Prevention in the Context of the New World Order (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) (vol 916)

The next century has been characterized by The Economist as a "dangerous" one, and while it is impossible to completely predict the implications of the myriad changes associated with the new world order on the emergence, transmission, and control of tropical diseases, they cannot be ignored. Despite improved technology utilizing diagnostic tests and vaccines, the movement of live animals across borders and the complexity of food trading patterns is increasing the risk of emerging diseases for both animals and humans. Animal pathogens continue to establish new niches and undergo genetic mutation. This volume speaks to those problems in papers that address issues of world trade and disease control; epidemiology, parasitology and microbiology of emerging diseases; and technology, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, quarantine, and regulatory control.Tropical Veterinary Diseases: Control and Prevention in the Context of the New World Order (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) (vol 916), 916th with ISBN 9781573312813 and ISBN 1573312819.
