Table of ContentsReviewsThis book would be useful to all who encounter zoonotic diseases in the course of their practice and may need a quick, but thorough, compilation of relevant information and resources for zoonoses, whether caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi. -Katherine A. Feldman, Center for Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Diseases, Baltimore, Maryland, in Clinical Infectious Diseases This book is a remarkable source of very specific information on a diversity of important zoonotic parasites and pathogens. One reason for the high value of this book lies in the organization of the contents, and the ease with which information on any specific disease can be accessed. A second reason for the high marks is the quality of the information provided, and it makes one appreciate the amount of research that the authors invested in this project. All the information is authoritative, and clearly well-researched, but presented in an easily-readable style. This would be an excellent reference book for any animal biologist interacting with zoonotic pathogens. -Michael Sukhdeo, Rutgers University, in Journal of Parasitology ...a unique compilation of information on more than 70 zoonoses that is likely to become a common reference text among wildlife students and professionals but also should serve as an important resource for hunters, trappers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who are at increased risk of exposure to zoonotic diseases. I recommend this book for anyone that works with or handles wildlife either recreationally or professionally and those generally interested in expanding their knowledge of zoonotic diseases. -James C. Beasley, University of Georgia, in The Journal of Wildlife Management This well-written, informative work presents a good general overview of the most common and dangerous zoonotic diseases... Numerous sidebars present a wide range of interesting topics related to each disease. Medical jargon is kept to a minimum, and though the material discussed is complex, it is presented in a highly readable format that will appeal to readers with a wide range of backgrounds and interests. Summing Up: Highly recommended. -D. A. Brass, Independent Scholar, from CHOICE Magazine, April 2015 ...written in an easy-to-read style and my perusal of sections about which I have no detailed knowledge indicated this was the case...I would recommend this book for libraries in particular, or even individual use for those wanting such a book. -W. (Bill) E. Pomroy, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, in Veterinary Parasitology Michael Conover and Rosanna Vail have compiled an extensive array of information concerning Human Diseases from Wildlife, including 4 appendices and a lengthy topical index.
