Defined by the World Health Organization, zoonoses are oethose diseases and infections that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and man with or without an arthropod intermediate. Worldwide, zoonotic diseases have a negative impact on commerce, travel, and economies. In most developing countries, zoonotic diseases are among those diseases that contribute significantly to an already overly burdened public health system. In industrialized nations, zoonotic diseases are of particular concern for at-risk groups such as the elderly, children, childbearing women, and immunocompromised individuals. The Emergence of Zoonotic Diseases: Understanding the Impact on Animal and Human Health , covers a range of topics, which include: an evaluation of the relative importance of zoonotic diseases against the overall backdrop of emerging infections; research findings related to the current state of our understanding of zoonotic diseases; surveillance and response strategies to detect, prevent, and mitigate the impact of zoonotic diseases on human health; and information about ongoing programs and actions being taken to identify the most important needs in this vital area.ZoonosesCongressesCommunicable diseasesEmerging infectious diseasesCongressesZoonosesepidemiology(DNLM)D015047Q000453Communicable Diseases, Emerging(DNLM)D021821ZoonosesCommunicable diseases.Emerging infectious diseasesZoonosesepidemiology.Communicable Diseases, Emerging.614.5/6Burroughs Tom1805870Knobler Stacey1804165Lederberg Joshua95738Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Forum on Emerging Infections.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961109203321The Emergence of zoonotic diseases4354723UNINA
