Infection Control in Small Animal Clinical Practice
by Shabbir Simjee Tom Reilly Tim Nuttall Alison Young Lindsey Ashburner Craig R. Breheny Jocelyn Bisson Caitlin Forbes Sian-Marie Frosini Andrew Gardiner Owen Glenn Rosanne Jepson Brandy A. Burgess Rungtip Chuanchuen Martyna Godniak Emily Gorman Eleanor Haskey Thawanrut Kiatyingangsulee Steven Murphy Lucas Pantaleon Kathryn Pratschke Alan D. Radford Mellora Sharman Helen Silver-MacMahon David A. Singleton Katie Smyth Faye Swinbourne Denis Verwilghen Martin L. Whitehead Nicola J. WilliamsInfection prevention and control is vital within a veterinary setting, but can find itself an automated part of care - and therefore vulnerable to time constraints, forgetfulness and routine. This book is written by experts in the field and uses evidence-based findings to elevate infection prevention to a well understood, dynamic concept, relevant to both veterinary practitioners and nurses in practice. Comparing key findings to the human healthcare world, this book: Maximises learning opportunities with lots of practical examples and cases; Provides practical how-to sections, such as setting up a surveillance programme; and Bases findings on current veterinary literature. Beginning with an introduction to the importance of infection control, dedicated chapters in this book then consider key principles such as hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, infection control for the surgical and hospitalised patient, and care for immunosuppressed individuals. Importantly, this book presents an up-to-date exploration of responsible antibiotic use in the context of rising resistance.
Infectious Disease Ecology: Effects of Ecosystems on Disease and of Disease On Ecosystems
by Richard S. Ostfeld Felicia Keesing Valerie T. EvinerGathering thirteen essays by forty leading experts who convened at the Cary Conference at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in 2005, this book develops an integrated framework for understanding where these diseases come from, what ecological factors influence their impacts, and how they in turn influence ecosystem dynamics. It marks the first comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the rich and complex linkages between ecology and disease, and provides conceptual underpinnings to understand and ameliorate epidemics. It also sheds light on the roles that diseases play in ecosystems, bringing vital new insights to landscape management issues in particular. While the ecological context is a key piece of the puzzle, effective control and understanding of diseases requires the interaction of professionals in medicine, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, forestry, agriculture, and ecology. The essential resource on the subject, Infectious Disease Ecology seeks to bridge these fields with an ecological approach that focuses on systems thinking and complex interactions.

Infested: How the Bed Bug Infiltrated Our Bedrooms and Took Over the World
by Brooke BorelBed bugs. Few words strike such fear in the minds of travelers. In cities around the world, lurking beneath the plush blankets of otherwise pristine-looking hotel beds are tiny bloodthirsty beasts just waiting for weary wanderers to surrender to a vulnerable slumber. Though bed bugs today have infested the globe, the common bed bug is not a new pest at all. Indeed, as Brooke Borel reveals in this unusual history, this most-reviled species may date back over 250,000 years, wreaking havoc on our collective psyche while even inspiring art, literature, and music—in addition to vexatious red welts. In Infested, Borel introduces readers to the biological and cultural histories of these amazingly adaptive insects, and the myriad ways in which humans have responded to them. She travels to meet with scientists who are rearing bed bug colonies—even by feeding them with their own blood (ouch!)—and to the stages of musicals performed in honor of the pests. She explores the history of bed bugs and their apparent disappearance in the 1950s after the introduction of DDT, charting how current infestations have flourished in direct response to human chemical use as well as the ease of global travel. She also introduces us to the economics of bed bug infestations, from hotels to homes to office buildings, and the expansive industry that has arisen to combat them. Hiding during the day in the nooks and seams of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, dresser tables, wallpaper, or any clutter around a bed, bed bugs are thriving and eager for their next victim. By providing fascinating details on bed bug science and behavior as well as a captivating look into the lives of those devoted to researching or eradicating them, Infested is sure to inspire at least a nibble of respect for these tenacious creatures—while also ensuring that you will peek beneath the sheets with prickly apprehension.
