Virus Infections of Vertebrates, 3
Description
As its title suggests, this book is intended to give exhaustive information on virus infections and diseases occurring in ruminants. Each
virus and corresponding disease is described in a separate chapter, and the chapters are ordered according to current virus classification.
Contributing authors are experts on the virus and disease they describe. Where necessary, the text is accompanied by tables and pictures.
The accent is placed on diagnosis of the disease by clinical observations including epizootological data. There is also a description
of the laboratory procedures of diagnostic virology, and suggestions concerning control measures (e.g. vaccination and/or eradication
policy).
This book should prove indispensable to: the practising veterinarian, by facilitating recognition of a viral disease, and
giving advice on collecting appropriate specimens for laboratory investigation; the veterinary virologist by aiding the choice of appropriate
diagnostic laboratory procedures, and recommending appropriate control measures; and the medical virologist by giving information on
viral infections and diseases in ruminants, information that has already proved fundamental in understanding aetiology and pathogenesis
of diseases in man caused by papilloma viruses, retroviruses, and prions.
