Description
Emerging Zoonotic and Wildlife Pathogens: Disease Ecology, Epidemiology, and Conservation describes a range of emerging infectious disease outbreaks affecting humans, including rabies, Ebola virus, Lyme disease, bubonic plague, and of course, Covid-19. The ebook also covers emerging infectious diseases in wildlife, such as Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease, white nose syndrome, mange, and musk ox lungworm.
