University of Alberta Press TROUBLE WITH LIONS A Glasgow Vet in Africa
Book SynopsisAdventure-tale devotees and conservationists will enjoy this veterinarian's memoir on treating and studying African wildlife.Trade Review"Haigh's writing style is informative and entertaining all in the same breath. His stories weave animal history and legend together with his own experiences to create a vivid picture of the wildlife situation in Africa... While the title of the book may lead you to believe it is just about the king of the jungle, the cast of animal characters is quite varied. Haigh has tended to rhinos, elephants, wild dogs, hyenas, chimpanzees, cattle, and many other creatures, both large and small in the wilds of Africa. The Trouble with Lions gives you a closer look at the wild animals that once roamed free and plentiful across a continent; you'll find no better guide than Dr. Jerry Haigh." Carmen Klassen, The StarPhoenix, June 28, 2008 "Going on safari in Africa is something most people may have on their bucket list. In his memoir of his life and work while living in Africa, author Jerry High, a Glasgow-schooled veterinarian takes the reader through Kenya Now and Then (1965-1975), Forested Africa and the Bushmeat Crisis (1995-2007), The Trouble with Lions (1997), and On the Ground in Uganda (2002-2007). Thoughtfully written and including captivating photos; will delight readers. Recommended for adult readers." Tonya Thul-Theis, Reviewer's Bookwatch, October 2008 "Have you ever had the experience of meeting someone who makes a distant part of the world, or a different way or life, make sense to you for the first time? Reading Jerry Haigh's 'The Trouble With Lions' is like that. There are many good story tellers out there, and Haigh is one of them. But here's the big difference--he has decades of unique, fascinating experience to back it up. He's a wildlife veterinarian, and his tales of treating lions, and rhinos, and all sorts of other animals in Africa are fascinating--they're like James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great and Small,' except it's All Creatures Great and Greater. But as fun, and often funny, as Haigh's tales are, the real value of 'The Trouble With Lions' lies in the way he sees the world, and the ways in which humans relate to each other and to the wildlife and nature around them. This isn't just a book about one man's experiences. It's a story about Africa, and its people, and its wildlife, and the dramatic, often heartbreaking changes all three have experienced over the last 4 decades. 'The Trouble With Lions' is an excellent book for lovers of Africa, and adventure, and a good tale well told. But it will also provide valuable context and open readers' eyes to the deep connections between animals and nature and current events--like the ongoing conflict in the Congo, and last year's post-election violence in Kenya. Highly recommended." Thomas Hayden, San Francisco, CA, December 23, 2008 "Fascinating, educational, funny and beautifully illustrated, this book gives us a glimpse of the life of a veterinarian working in modern-day Africa. Lions, rhinos and chimpanzees are among the animals Dr. Haigh treats and they are all sadly under great stress and pressure as their natural habitat slowly disappears." Juror, Saskatchewan Book Awards, 2008 "Jerry Haigh takes us into the world of rhinos and lions in Africa and describes his adventures with clear insight and compassion." Juror, Saskatchewan Book Awards, 2008 "This is a beautifully told, rich account of another landscape, another country; Jerry Haigh weaves an endlessly complex and layered tale of humans and animals." Juror, Saskatchewan Book Awards, 2008 "The Trouble with Lions chronicles the adventures of a veterinarian in Africa, escorting us far off the beaten path of nature documentaries and tourist safaris, ultimately breaking our hearts with the overwhelming evidence that Africa's great cavalcade of beasts and wild places will disappear in our lifetime." Juror, Saskatchewan Book Awards, 2008 "The Trouble with Lions, Jerry Haigh's fast-paced memoir of his years practicing wild-animal medicine in the jungles and plains of Africa, is as disturbing as it is fascinating: a rare glimpse into a little-known and quickly vanishing world." Juror, Saskatchewan Book Awards, 2008 "Haigh (veterinary medicine, U. of Saskatchewan), a hearty type with few complaints about living rough alongside his patients, explains the pressures of keeping animals alive and at peace with the humans around them, a difficult task at best and often heartbreaking. He describes preservation efforts and how they apply to elephants, rhinos, painted dogs, and the various species dubbed 'bushmeat.' He explores the national park system set up to keep animals and humans as happy and well-fed as possible, the trouble with well-meaning amateurs, and the need for continuous education about some of the most fascinating creatures in the world." SciTech Book News, December 2008 "He has wrestled rhinos, elephants and lions in Africa, studied seals on Sable Island, tested reindeer in Mongolia and carried out research work on bison, deer, elk and polar bears in Canada. He continues to work on the front lines of what he calls 'the longest running wars on the planet - the war between wild animals and humans.' ... Haigh ... was veterinarian at the Saskatoon Zoo for 16 years, and has been a member of the faculty of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine since 1975. ... In February 2008, Haigh and his wife took their sixth group of ten students to Uganda. A total of 59 students have participated since he set up the program in 2003. Several students from Africa also take the course concurrently and this is leading to ongoing cross-cultural professional association." Robert White, The Neighbourhood Express, March 30, 2008 "Of the 60 authors nominated for 2008, I'm willing to wager he's the only one that's ever performed an enema on a rhino. The incident isn't recounted in Jerry Haigh's The Trouble with Lions, which was nominated in the Nonfiction and Saskatoon Book categories. Instead it was included in his first book about his four decades working as a wildlife vet in Africa called Wrestling with Rhinos. Lions, however, has its share of fascinating stories and insights into a continent that, as the cradle of humanity and home to all manner of exotic animal species, exerts a strong hold on our imagination." Gregory Beatty, Planet S, December 4, 2008 "Jerry Haigh has spent more than 40 years in Africa, in Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, DRC and Tanzania. As with many vets in Africa, he became involved with treating the problems of wild animals, and was among the first to perfect the art of capturing and translocating animals with drugs rather than with a pole and a rope. He started as an intern at the Kabete Vet Lab, and then spent five years as the Government vet in Meru, before starting a private practice in Nanyuki. Along with the normal cats, dogs, parrots, horses and cattle, his patients also included rhino, chimpanzees, roan antelope, elephants, zebras, warthogs, birds, and Uganda kob. However, he regards one animal as being a symbol of what is happening to wildlife in Africa, and that is the lion. The decline of lion numbers reflects the way things have changed and are changing for all wildlife in Africa, and are symbolic of all wildlife species, not only in Africa, but worldwide. After his spell in Kenya, he and his family moved to Canada, but he was soon back, putting tracking collars on forest elephants in Cameroon. Here he became aware of the enormity of the horrendous bush meat problem (more than 5 million tons a year, according to 2004 figures), and the problems of illegal logging and habitat destruction. He studied the effects of the bushmeat trade, and was not alone in concluding that SARS, HIV, Ebola and Marburg's disease in humans are directly related to eating or handling animal (especially primate) meat. Dr Haigh also spent time working with rare white rhinos in South Africa, and African wild dogs in Namibia and Botswana. He instigated a programme of taking Canadian vet students to Uganda where they received far more hands-on experience than they ever could at home. But throughout his travels he has continued to learn more about lions--distribution, traditions, superstitions, witchcraft, the history of stock attacks--and has examined in great detail the problem of declining lion numbers. Having worked with other vets and wildlife experts all over the continent, such as Paul Sayer, Dieter Rottcher, Toni Harthoorn, Gladys Kalema, Laurence Frank, and Annie Olive-Krona, Dr Haigh is well informed on all matters concerning wildlife, but particularly with the subject of people living alongside lions. This is a well-written book, full of interesting facts and entertaining people." Jean Hartley, ViewFinders Ltd "I have heard Dr Haigh lecture several times; he is always entertaining, and my hope was that his writing would be equally enjoyable. I was not disappointed... Haigh's discussion of the plight of the African lion, and his use of the lion as a symbol for the precarious future for Africa's wildlife, is very insightful. A central theme throughout the book is the complex relationships between humans, their livestock, and the Wildlife... I would recommend The Trouble with Lions for an entertaining but worthwhile read from one of the pioneers of wildlife veterinary medicine. It would make a great companion on a long flight, or a long layover (to Africa, perhaps?), or for someone wrapped up in front of the fire on a cold, prairie-winter's night dreaming of warm, exotic locales." Jonathan Mark Sleeman, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Journal of Wildlife Diseases, April 2009 "Jerry Haigh has written a book that is both an interesting read as well as being informative and thought provoking. He manages to balance his own personal, often funny anecdotes of just being a vet and all the challenges that that entails with the more serious subject of wildlife conservation and the problems and conflicts that face local people as well as the authorities and generally puts forward a good unbiased viewpoint. Before reading this book, I had no idea how complex the situation is. I also found it interesting to see how much things have changed over the many years that Jerry has been working with wildlife and how much of a trailblazer he was in his early years of treating and translocating animals. It is all written in an easy conversational style - even though he goes off at a tanget sometimes - with lots of personal touches. I noticed, for example, that when particular incidents are described, they are often associated with what he had to eat at the time! Well worth reading." Frances M. Rees, January 26, 2009 "From North American Bison to African Rhino, this book gives the reader an insight into what is happening in today's African wildlife and human conflict from a veterinarian's perspective. Dr Haigh brings us along on his journey to Africa with Canadian Veterinary students." Pauline Gaudette, December 29, 2008 "This is a book that will appeal to all those, whether veterinarians or not, with a concern for wildlife conservation, and draws on the author's considerable experience of the issues involved while working in sub-Saharan Africa. It is prefaced by an introduction from the world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall." Roland Minor, Veterinary Record, Janaury 23, 2010 [Full review at doi: 10.1136/vr.c362]

Nova Science Publishers Inc Mammary Glands: Anatomy, Development & Diseases
Book SynopsisThis book is a compilation of manuscripts that encompass a breadth of information from different species including rodents, dogs, cows, goats, and sheep. Normal developmental processes are covered and anatomical features are discussed, as well as the impact and significance of environmental chemicals and epigenetics on the mammary gland. In terms of disease states, cancer and mastitis are the most impactful in the fields of human medicine and livestock management, respectively, in the context of mammary gland biology. Therefore, this book presents in depth analyses of these diseases over several chapters and different model systems. Rodent and canine cancer models are discussed, which are very relevant in understanding the roles that genes and the environment play in human breast cancer. In the livestock industry, mastitis in the dairy sector has a deep economic impact globally, and results in over a billion dollar loss annually. Several chapters are devoted towards this disease in dairy cattle, sheep and goats, with an underlying theme of generating newer detection strategies to detect infections at an earlier stage. An up-to-date description of the most important signaling pathways and mechanisms that impact both development and disease are included. A gamut of sub-disciplines are found throughout the book that covers the main aspects of anatomy, physiology, cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology in both development and diseases of the mammary gland.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Anthelmintics: Clinical Pharmacology, Uses in
Book SynopsisAntiparasitic drugs (ATH) are important tools widely used to maintain animal welfare. As parasites impart a great impact on animal health, these drugs are often essential for the expression of the full genetic potential of production. However, despite the initial success, after years of massive use of anthelminthic drugs , the increase in prevalence of resistant nematodes became a major problem. Anthelmintics are commonly used to treat parasitic worm infections not only in animals, but humans as well. Resistance to anthelmintics is thought to be present in several helminth species, yet it remains poorly studied. This books discusses topics such as the clinical pharmacology of anthelmintics; the uses in human and veterinary medicine; animal resistance to ATH; and the efficacy of Neem and Pawpaw products against Oesophahostomum spp infection in pigs.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Salmonella Pathogenesis and Progression in the
Book SynopsisThe important foodborne zoonotic pathogen non-typhoidal Salmonella cause gastroenteritis, bacteremia and focal infection in humans. Salmonella evades the host''s immune system through the coordinated expression of complex arrays of virulence associated-genes. The dynamics of host-pathogen Salmonella enterica interaction and infection might enhance the development of novel targeted preventative measures and drug regimens. However, widespread usage of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multiple antibiotic-resistant Salmonella. To avoid this problem, effective vaccines are developed to control non-typhoidal Salmonella zoonotic infections. An understanding of how Salmonella enterica spreads and survives in tissues has very important implications for targeting intracellular Salmonella with vaccine-induced immune responses. Application of advanced knowledge and scientific methods in the development of vaccines could diminish the non-typhoidal Salmonella disease burden globally. Currently, the oral live attenuated vaccines showed an efficient protection against non-typhoidal Salmonella zoonotic infection. However, inactivated or sub-unit vaccines are considered to be the safest over live vaccines. Ultimately, this review explores the molecular basis of non-typhoidal Salmonella pathogenesis. In addition to pathogenesis, recent advances in generation of Salmonella vaccines are also emphasised. This review also gives a deep insight into the future development of Salmonella vaccines with different innovations.

Wiley Parasites of Lab Animals 2e
Book SynopsisPrepared under the auspices of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, this second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to improve utility and readability. The book is now organized by vertebrate host species, with parasites presented phylogenetically within chapters. Additional highlights of this edition include introductory chapters on modern diagnostic techniques and parasite biology, and a new appendix features a complete drug formulary. The well-presented and extensively illustrated volume addresses all aspects of laboratory animal parasites. Regarded as the most comprehensive and authoritative work available on the topic, this book is an essential reference for veterinary parasitologists, clinicians, students and laboratory animal scientists.Trade Review“Wait no more! After 35 years, the second edition of Flynn's Parasites of Laboratory Animals has finally arrived.... If you are looking for a well organized reference on parasites found in the research environment, then look no further. This is the most comprehensive, detailed, easy to use compilation available on the market. To collect the equivalent breadth, one would have to purchase many species-specific texts.... A detailed reference to be used to confirm preliminary results and enhance understanding of the impact of discovered infections. The articles are well written in an easy to read, direct, and succinct style... I recommend this text as a practical, user friendly yet extremely comprehensive reference book.” Interface: Newsletter of the Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Medicine "The similarity of organization of each host chapter makes it easy to develop a method to use this large text. The tables at the end of each host chapter present information based on the host organ system and help direct the reader to more detailed references for each parasite. The text was carefully edited to maintain the same style throughout the book by different contributors.... Although this is not a book to use as a quick guide or a clinical differential, it is a good investment as a comprehensive reference text if: 1) you have an interest in parasitology, especially of laboratory animal species; 2) you are dealing with a commercial operation, such as a producer or distributor of any of these species; 3) you are a practitioner who sees these species on a fairly regular basis as pets." Exotic DVM Magazine “This is a well written and very useful book for those in the field of lab animal medicine. The second edition contains much newer useful information.” Doody’s Book Reviews "This is a well written and very useful book for those in the field of lab animal medicine.
