Download or read book Animal Health at the Crossroads written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-12-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confirmed case of "mad cow" disease (BSE) in June 2005 illustrates the economic impact of disease outbreaks, as additional countries closed their markets to U.S. beef and beef products. Emerging diseases also threaten public health-11 out of 12 of the major global disease outbreaks over the last decade were from zoonotic agents (that spread from animals to humans). Animal Health at the Crossroads: Preventing, Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases finds that, in general, the U.S. animal health framework has been slow to take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies being used now to protect public health; better diagnostic tests for identifying all animal diseases should be made a priority. The report also recommends that the nation establish a high-level, authoritative, and accountable coordinating mechanism to engage and enhance partnerships among local, state, and federal agencies, and the private sector.
Download or read book Veterinary Diseases Diagnosis Treatment and Prevention written by Lauren Boyle and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. Some bacterial diseases are anthrax, diphtheria, Lyme disease, salmonellosis and rickettsioses, while fungal diseases include aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis and dermatophytosis. Animals are susceptible to genetic diseases, such as complex vertebral malformation, hyperinsulinism hyperammonemia syndrome, foal immunodeficiency syndrome and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, among others. The field of veterinary medicine is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of all veterinary diseases. The diagnosis of disease is possible through an examination of body fluids and animal tissue. This is under the scope of veterinary pathology. It may be further divided into anatomical and clinical pathology. Anatomical pathology deals with the diagnosis of disease based on a microscopic, molecular and gross examination of organs, tissues and whole bodies. The diagnosis of disease through a laboratory analysis of bodily fluids, such as urine, blood or cavitary effusions is under the scope of clinical pathology. Some common interventions to achieve good animal health include vaccination against animal diseases, such as rabies, dental prophylaxis, etc. Specialties in veterinary medicine include areas like anesthesiology, cardiology, dermatology, dentistry, etc. This book outlines the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of veterinary diseases in detail. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in veterinary science and medicine.
Download or read book Critical Needs for Research in Veterinary Science written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-10-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in veterinary science is critical for the health and well-being of animals, including humans. Food safety, emerging infectious diseases, the development of new therapies, and the possibility of bioterrorism are examples of issues addressed by veterinary science that have an impact on both human and animal health. However, there is a lack of scientists engaged in veterinary research. Too few veterinarians pursue research careers, and there is a shortage of facilities and funding for conducting research. This report identifies questions and issues that veterinary research can help to address, and discusses the scientific expertise and infrastructure needed to meet the most critical research needs. The report finds that there is an urgent need to provide adequate resources for investigators, training programs, and facilities involved in veterinary research.
Download or read book Learning from Disease in Pets written by Rebecca A. Krimins and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning from Disease in Pets: A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians, researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the biology, prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases. Studies of pet dogs, for instance, can aid treatment of complex medical problems such as cancer, orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, and neuro-inflammatory diseases, and zoonotic infections. Each chapter within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a leader, or leaders, in their field of research. Using clinical trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine, as well as benefiting pets suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities of diseases across species, there are very few spontaneous models of disease used in research compared with models where disease is induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the imperative communication styles necessary within the research environment and with clients, a compelling discussion on the ethics of using pets in veterinary clinical research, comprehensive tables of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans, the regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside research to patient bedside, as well as intricate details on how to design a robust clinical study.
