Overview

The infections that affect animals are known as veterinary infections. The most common of such diseases are anthrax, foot and mouth disease, black quarter, tetanus and listeriosis. Anthrax is caused by the bacterium named as bacillus anthracis. It usually occurs in four forms - lungs, skin, intestinal and injection. The symptoms of anthrax include blister, fever, chest pain, abdominal pains, nausea and vomiting. Black quarter, also known as black leg disease, is commonly caused by the bacterium clostridium chauvoei. It is often seen in livestock such as cattle, goats and sheep. Foot and mouth disease is a highly infectious veterinary disease that is caused by a virus. It affects the cloven-hoofed animals and causes fever, blisters on the feet and inside the mouth, and causes lameness. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of veterinary infections. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
