Summary

This Print On Demand book will be sent within 3 weeks (metropolitan France) and in a separate package if you order another paperback book.

Animals are all around us. We overlap with them in environments across the globe, which leads to myriad interactions, including shared infectious and parasitic diseases.

Such diseases, known as zoonoses, are the focus of this book. Within its pages, the authors describe the nature and transmission of zoonoses, discuss the diseases of greatest concern, detail different protective measures, and examine the factors responsible for zoonosis emergence and evolution.

This work encourages readers to delve deeper into the world of animals and microbes that surrounds us. It presents knowledge we must possess to better protect ourselves and, more importantly, to adopt a more holistic approach to our relationships with animals and the living world.

Les auteurs mettent en avant l'émergence des maladies transmises par les animaux aux humains, les "zoonoses" dans notre monde moderne. Ils expliquent de manière concise et claire quelles sont les mesures préventives à mettre en oeuvre, face à l'évolution des zoonoses, et donnent des conseils pour transformer notre rapport à l'animal et au monde vivant en général.
