Since publication of the first edition, there has been an increased awareness of zoonoses among healthcare professionals, governments and the public, and this timely book responds to the growing necessity for information.

Zoonoses have growing worldwide significance posing a constant challenge to healthcare and society. Due to several changes in disease patterns around the world in the last few years, and an increased scientific understanding of these infections, the author is able to offer fascinating up-to-date information on both prevalence and treatment of various diseases, not only within the context of domestic disease, but also in the wider world. Chapters have been expanded or diminished accordingly, and sections on bio-terrorism, E. coli, BSE, avian flu and SARS are included.

• Zoonoses of companion animals
• Zoonoses of agricultural animals
• Food-borne zoonoses
• Variant CJD, BSE and other prion diseases
• Pandora's box

Zoonoses is aimed at trained and trainee healthcare professionals, as well as public health practitioners and those working in primary healthcare. It will be an invaluable resource for any undergraduate pharmacy student, practicing pharmacist or other healthcare professional.
