Explore Veterinary Microbiology (4th edition) by D. Scott McVey, Melissa Kennedy, M. M. Chengappa, & Rebecca Wilkes.
This collection of chapters and supporting materials is intended to provide a very broad overview of veterinary microbiology and infectious diseases. The writings represent a combination of the biology of the organisms that cause or are associated with disease and the diseases themselves.
The scope of this book is intended to be general to appeal both to students of veterinary sciences and to seasoned veterinary practitioners and scientists. Like many textbooks, this book will hopefully serve as a sound foundation for the study of veterinary infectious diseases as well as a good reference text. The content emphasizes diseases that occur in North America, but many global, transboundary diseases are included.
Part I of the book contains chapters that deal with basic microbiology and microbial virulence and parasitism. This chapter is intended to convey a basic knowledge of bacteria, viruses, and fungi to provide a better understanding of specific pathogens and the diseases they cause, which are described in Parts II, III, and IV.
Part II describes bacterial pathogens. This section covers a very diverse set of bacterial pathogens and many diseases, but yet the similarities of pathogenesis, virulence properties, and host responses among these organisms are striking.
Part III of the book describes in detail mycotic diseases and the fungal pathogens responsible for them. The editors have tried to emphasize the consequences of fungal infections and the host responses. Part IV deals with important viruses as well as diseases that they cause.
The editors have described the veterinary significance of these diseases, along with methods of diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Part V, the last section of the book, deals with an overview of control of diseases and includes immune response to infectious agents, antimicrobial therapy and resistance, laboratory diagnosis, prophylactic measures with vaccines, and epidemiology and transmission of infectious agents.
In the spirit of one medicine, the chapters take a comparative approach to describing both differences and similarities of diseases across many affected species. The editors have not included the clinical application section which exists in the third edition, as it did not fit well with the format as well as the scope of this book.
This edition contains numerous high-quality figures, which will be very useful for veterinary students in their learning process. This edition will be very beneficial for veterinarians as they render their clinical services in a practice setting.
