However, the majority of chapters focus on more recent zoonoses, which have been recognized since the late 20th century to the present: SARS and MERS coronaviruses New avian influenza viruses The tick-borne Henan fever virus from China The tick-borne Heartland virus from the United States Recently recognized bacterial pathogens, such as Streptococcus suis from pigs. In addition, reemergence of established zoonoses that have expanded their niche are reviewed, such as the spread of Zika virus and Chikungunya virus to the Western Hemisphere, and the emergence and spread of Ebola virus infection in Africa. A chapter is also devoted to an overview of the mechanisms and various types of animals involved in the transmission of diseases to humans, and the potential means of control and prevention. Many endemic and sporadic diseases are still transmitted by animals, through either direct or indirect contact, and zoonoses are estimated to account for about 75% of all new and emerging infectious diseases. It is predicted by public health experts that the next major pandemic of infectious disease will be of animal origin, making Emerging Zoonoses: A Worldwide Perspective a crucial resource to all health care specialists by providing them with much needed information on these zoonotic diseases. 000779472 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 16, 2017). 000779472 650_0 $$aZoonoses. 000779472 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319508887 000779472 830_0 $$aEmerging infectious diseases of the 21st century. 000779472 852__ $$bebk 000779472 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-50890-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000779472 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:779472$$pGLOBAL_SET 000779472 980__ $$aEBOOK 000779472 980__ $$aBIB 000779472 982__ $$aEbook 000779472 983__ $$aOnline 000779472 994__ $$a92$$bISE
