Zoonoses - volume-9 in the Faunacap Series on The Capture Handling and Restraint of Animals
Zoonoses - A Zoonotic Disease is an infectious disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Diseases such as Anthrax, Lyssa virus, Hendra, Avian Influenza, Rabies and Typhus are just some of the many animal diseases that can be transmitted to humans.
People who work with animals and / or collect animal related data, in any environment, need to be aware of, and take precautions to avoid exposure to, an infectious disease. Reduce the risk of disease by using good hand-washing techniques after cleaning or handling any equipment or animal species, and develop an awareness of animal disease, vectors and methods of transmission. Zoonotic diseases may be transmitted by scratches or bites, or via body fluids. Other disease agents may be present in soil, airborne particles, water and mud, or carried by insects, just to name some of the more common risk areas.
Volume-9 Zoonoses is a program consisting of a DVD built around interviews with acknowledged experts in the field of zoonotic diseases, their risks, symptoms and methods of prevention.
This program is essential reference material for anybody involved in the handling or management of animals or who works with animal products., and it makes ideal training material for veterinarians, zoo staff, wildlife professionals and volunteers.
Volume-9 Zoonoses would be a valuable addition to libraries in tertiary education facilities teaching animal handling, animal husbandry, biology, zoology or veterinary science.
Volume-9 Zoonoses also comes with an extremely comprehensive manual, in PDF format, detailing, in Excel table form, over 350 diseases along with their source animal hosts, vectors, symptoms and incubation periods.
