《动物在新型病毒性疾病中的角色》介绍了目前已知的关于动物在病毒出现和再度出现中的地位,包括HIV-AIDS、SARS、EBOLA、禽流感、猪流感和狂犬病病毒。它介绍了可影响病毒出现的结构、基因组和传播方式并考虑对病毒出现有利的非病毒性因素,例如动物驯化、人类人口统计学、人口增长、人类行为和土地使用变化。当病毒在种属间转移,结果可能是灾难性的,会导致人类和动物的疾病和死亡。这些动物传染病的暴发流行反映了许多因素,包括人类人口流动性增高、人口统计学改变和全球化所造成的环境改变。新的、新兴病毒造成了威胁,而目前我们没有针对最常见的动物传染性病毒的疫苗,这一现实驱动了动物传染性疾病传播的生理学和生态学研究。
本书中,11位新兴动物传染性病毒专家介绍了每种病毒的结果、分子生物学、目前地理分布和传播方式等方面的详细信息。本书通过考虑死亡率、发病率和无症状感染讨论了病毒出现的影响,同时讨论了预测、监测、缓解和控制病毒出现的评估方法。 - 英文简介:

The Role of Animals in Emerging Viral Diseases presents what is currently known about the role of animals in the emergence or re-emergence of viruses including HIV-AIDS, SARS, Ebola, avian flu, swine flu, and rabies. It presents the structure, genome, and methods of transmission that influence emergence and considers non-viral factors that favor emergence, such as animal domestication, human demography, population growth, human behavior, and land-use changes.
When viruses jump species, the result can be catastrophic, causing disease and death in humans and animals. These zoonotic outbreaks reflect several factors, including increased mobility of human populations, changes in demography and environmental changes due to globalization. The threat of new, emerging viruses and the fact that there are no vaccines for the most common zoonotic viruses drive research in the biology and ecology of zoonotic transmission.
In this book, specialists in 11 emerging zoonotic viruses present detailed information on each virus's structure, molecular biology, current geographic distribution, and method of transmission. The book discusses the impact of virus emergence by considering the ratio of mortality, morbidity, and asymptomatic infection and assesses methods for predicting, monitoring, mitigating, and controlling viral disease emergence.
