Nova Science Publishers Inc Viral Genomes: Diversity, Properties & Parameters
Book SynopsisThis book describes the seven different classification of viruses, including their effects on common human diseases (i.e., common cold, chicken pox) as well as the more serious diseases (AIDS, avian influenza and SARS). The nature of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the first human retrovirus and the etiologic agent of neoplastic disease, adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL) is explored, as well as its effect on several inflammatory diseases. Since 1997, great concern aroused that the Asian highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus might turn into a pandemic strain. Thus, the enigmatic nature of the HPAI H5N1 influenza virus is also discussed. An attempt is made to identify and to characterise, qualitatively, various concrete factors that may readily become or propel critical masses. Furthermore, giant viruses, which are ancient double-stranded DNA viruses that infect a wide range of host organisms are addressed. This book also highlights current information regarding the replication, transcription, and roles of proteins of coronaviruses, viruses which are known to infect a wide range of mammalian and bird species.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Veterinary Parasitology
Book SynopsisVeterinary parasitology is the study of animal parasites, especially relationships between parasites and animal hosts, and their interactions. Parasites of domestic animals (livestock and pet animals) as well as wildlife animals are considered. Veterinary parasitology studies genesis and development of parasitoses in animal host. Veterinary parasitology also studies taxonomy and systematics of parasites, morphology, life cycles, and living needs of parasites in environment and in animal host. Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of animal parasitoses are designed using procured observations. Data obtained from parasitological research in animals helps in veterinary practice and improve animal breeding. Major goal of veterinary parasitology is to protect animals and improve their health status. Moreover, a number of animal parasites are transmitted to humans. Therefore, veterinary parasitology is also important for public health.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Veterinary Immunology & Immunopathology
Book SynopsisBrucellosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases world-wide. This book focuses on host natural resistance and innate immunity against Brucella infection. The impact of Johne''s disease, a chronic, granulomatous enteritis of ruminants and some wild-type species is examined as well. In addition, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of DNA vaccines are addressed in this book, as well as the optimisation strategies that are currently pursued to harness the therapeutic and commercial advantages of DNA vaccination. Moreover, immune responses may substantially differ between conventional laboratory antigens and microbial ones. This book focuses on the experimental pulmonary tuberculosis as a convenient in vivo model to study the disease, providing important advantages over other models. Other chapters examine the defence mechanisms of several flatfish species, which is a main priority to prevent economic losses. The role of the intestine in the immune response in all vertebrates is examined as well, including its cellular components.

CABI Publishing Fasciolosis
Book SynopsisFasciolosis is a major global infection of livestock causing both huge losses to the agricultural community and affecting human health as a food-borne disease. Fully updated throughout, this new edition continues to cover the life cycle, biology, and development of the parasite; clinical pathology, immunology, diagnosis and vaccine development; and emergence, cause and mechanisms of drug resistance. It reviews the temperate liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, together with molecular, biochemical, control, and epidemiologial aspects of the tropical liver fluke F. gigantica.
