Veterinary microbiology refers to a field of study that is primarily focused on the microbes that cause diseases in animals. It studies the microbial diseases of domesticated animals used for food production and other useful purposes. It also addresses the microbial diseases of wild animals in relation to their interactions with domesticated animals. Microorganisms that can cause diseases include protozoa, bacteria, fungi, viruses along with a few different kinds of worms. Some of the common diseases caused by microorganisms include rabies, cholera, histoplasmosis, and malaria. Different kinds of antibiotics such as beta-lactams, macrolides, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides can be used to treat bacterial diseases in animals. This book contains some path-breaking studies in veterinary microbiology. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information on the microbial diseases studied within this field. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
