Human-Animal Medicine. Clinical Approaches to Zoonoses, Toxicants and Other Shared Health Risks

Description

Human-Animal Medicine focuses on the emerging diseases that cross between animals and humans, and points out the important environmental changes related to land use, climate change, intensification of food production, and other factors that help manifest these diseases. This evidence-based practice manual is designed to help you manage a wide range of clinical problems at the intersection of human and animal health, with practical steps for implementing the concept of "One Health" in daily practice of human and veterinary medicine and public health. Develop all the skills you need to effectively manage human-animal health problems with this timely, comprehensive resource.
