Overview

The bacterium Salmonella is a major cause of zoonotic infections (animal diseases which can infect humans) on a worldwide scale. Consequently, it is the subject of a considerable amount of research. This book covers all aspects of Salmonella in farm animals, including fundamental characteristics and biology (together with the laboratory techniques necessary for their study), a description of its effects, virulence, epidemiology and control. Written by leading researchers in Salmonella from Europe, North America and Australia. The only up-to-date review of the subject available.
