Abstract:

Emerging infectious diseases pose an increasingly serious threat to a number of endangered or sensitive species. Despite the significant impact of pathogens on conservation, no single book has yet integrated the theoretical principles underlying disease transmission with the practical health considerations for helping wildlife professionals and conservation biologists to manage disease outbreaks and conserve biodiversity. This novel and accessible textbook starts with a foundational section focusing on the role of pathogens in natural ecosystems, the dynamics of transmission in different envir

Abstract:

While infections are common, and most are mild and easily diagnosed, the first part of this 2-part series on infectious diseases, “Part 1: Can’t Miss Diagnoses,” includes cases with diagnoses that may be deadly and are challenging to recognize. Many of the presentations herein are seemingly benign and could easily be dismissed at first glance, and some are initially concerning but are without an obvious diagnosis. However, if these diagnoses are missed, there is a risk of serious morbidity or death and/or significant public health implications. These are the initial presentations that keep us

Abstract:

This book explores serious diseases and disorders that most readers have never heard of, ranging from genetic, infectious, and environmental diseases to autoimmune, idiopathic, and mental disorders. Despite centuries of scientific study and medical research, there are still many human diseases and disorders that remain difficult to manage or are incurable. Some of these maladies are extremely rare, yet, together, they affect a substantial number of people.

Abstract:

Fungal diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can occur because of an overgrowth of yeast in the gut, exposure to contaminated food and water, or as part of disseminated invasive fungal infections from other sites. The extent of the disease depends on the underlying risk factors, such as diabetes or immunosuppression, and ranges from colonization, localized infection, or fungaemia, to aggressive life-threatening GI tract infections. Candida spp. are the commonest cause of mucosal infection, although mould infections are increasingly reported. Serious invasive mould infections are difficul

Abstract:

The evolution of resistance to microbes is one of the most significant problems in modern medicine, posing serious threats to human and animal health. The early work on the use of antibiotics to bacterial infections gave much hope that infectious diseases were no longer a problem, especially in the human field. However, as their use, indeed over use, progressed, resistance (both mono-resistance and multi-resistance), which was often transferable between different strains and species of bacteria, emerged. In addition, the situation is increasingly complex, as various mechanisms of resistance, i

Aspergillus and Candida spp. are the commonest causes of otomycosis, whilst Aspergillus spp. predominate in sinus disease, with members of the Mucorales also causing serious invasive infections.

Abstract:

Listeria monocytogenes is a intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes serious foodborne illness in humans. Among all infectious diseases caused by gastrointestinal pathogens, listeriosis has the highest mortality rate, likely because of its ability to cross the gastrointestinal barrier and cause sepsis and infection of other organs such as the brain and placenta. Infection of the placenta leads to fetal infection, and otherwise healthy pregnant women have a significantly increased incidence of listeriosis than the general population, likely due to changes in the maternal cell-mediated immun

Fungal infections of the musculoskeletal system are uncommon and diagnosis is often delayed. Infection is more common in the immunocompromised patient. The most important infections are due to candida species, Histoplasmosis capsulatum, Blastomycosis dermatiditis, and Coccidioides immitis. Amphotericin B remains the initial therapeutic agent of choice for many serious fungal infections, especially for those who are severely immunosuppressed, have life-threatening or central nervous system disease, or who have failed azole therapy.

Abstract:

The second part of this 2-part series on infectious disease, “Part 2: Indolent Head Scratchers,” presents cases of patients not in imminent danger, but sick with puzzling symptoms and histories. Some of these cases have a prolonged clinical course, while others are just plain weird. Some cases present with common findings seen every day in clinical practice, but hide something rare and elusive under the surface, which comes into focus as the case progresses. Some of the diagnoses have been missed or overlooked for quite some time, given the indolent nature of the disease and cognitive biases.

Severe SARS infections may be complicated by multi-organ dysfunction syndrome including AKI.

Zoophilic dermatophytes may result in zoonoses when humans are exposed to these organisms and dermatophytosis is considered to be one of the most common zoonotic diseases. The majority of

Abstract:

This two-volume work offers a comprehensive examination of the distressing topics of transnational crime and the implications for global security. National security is a key concern for individual nations, regions, and the global community, yet globalism has led to the perfusion of transnational crime such that it now poses a serious threat to the national security of governments around the world. Whether attention is concentrated on a particular type of transnational crime or on broader concerns of transnational crime generally, the security issues related to preventing and combatting transna

Abstract:

The Immune System: A Very Short Introduction describes the immune system and how it works in health and disease. It focuses on the human immune system, considering how it evolved, and the basic rules that govern its behaviour. The immune system comprises a series of organs, cells, and chemical messengers that work together as a team to provide defence against infection. These components are discussed along with the critical signals that trigger them and how they exert their protective effects, including innate and adaptive responses. The consequences of too little immunity (immunodeficiency),

Abstract:

A range of fungal disease syndromes affect patients with chronic respiratory diseases and cystic fibrosis (CF). Invasive aspergillosis is increasingly recognized in seriously ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, especially after high-dose steroids. Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis affects patients with pre-existing cavities or bullae, such as those with previous tuberculosis or atypical mycobacterial disease, bullous emphysema, sarcoidosis, pneumothorax, or treated lung cancer. In addition, fungi have become one of the most important trigger agents for asthma, and allergic b
