      Neglected Zoonoses and Antimicrobial Resistance: Impact on One Health and Sustainable Development Goals provides a thorough examination of how neglected zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance together hinder the achievement of sustainable development goals declared by the United Nations in the pursuit of a disease-free world. Neglected zoonotic diseases, as defined by the World Health Organization, are diseases likely to impact the livelihoods of livestock keepers and those living in periurban communities in developing countries. This book examines how such zoonoses affect the health of vulnerable farming populations and reduce the production capacity of their livestock.Written by internationally recognized experts in the field of livestock and poultry zoonoses, this book provides the reader with a comprehensive description of modern sustainable development goals and defines neglected zoonotic diseases and their impacts on human physical, mental, social, and economic health. Subsequent chapters systematically describe the epidemiology, hosts and transmission, disease process, economic significance, and prevention and treatment protocols of key neglected zoonotic diseases, including echinococcosis, leishmaniasis, zoonotic tuberculosis, anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, borreliosis, rickettsioses, and rabies. The book concludes with an assessment of the obstacles to achieving Sustainable Development Goals and possible mitigation strategies for veterinary researchers and policymakers alike.

      Health and Climate Change: Unraveling the Connections researches the linkages between climate change and human health as reported from Mexico, the UK, USA, India, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Cameroon. The book's chapters cover the multidimensional impacts of climate change on various aspects such as habitability, biodiversity, natural resources, and human health. This information from developed and developing countries will be of immense interest to the global audience of researchers, activists, governments, and others.Climate change, one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century, has serious adverse effects on human health. Extreme climate events increase mortality and morbidity, the prevalence of water- and vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, and respiratory diseases. Climate change has serious effects on mental health. Mental health is impacted directly and indirectly resulting in mental illnesses and suicidal mortality. Global heating, due to the increasing greenhouse effect, has disturbed the energetic balance of the Earth and destroyed its fragile climate. It is creating an atmospheric imbalance with toxins that are affecting the human nervous system and, thereby, impacting health.
