  • The Veterinary Psychiatry of Cats

    • 1st Edition
    • Jacqueline Ley
    • English
    The Veterinary Psychiatry of Cats introduces veterinary behavioral medicine and veterinary psychiatry using the domestic cat as its model. This book combines the most up-to-date understanding of biology of this beloved, revered and often maligned species with learnings from the fields of normal and abnormal psychology. Written by a leading expert in feline behavior, this book begins by assessing “normal” factors of feline behavior, from neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, cognitive and social abilities. Delving into psychiatry, it then discusses mental health disorders, hindered development, and trauma. Psychopharmacology, including medications and supplements, are also explained. The Veterinary Psychiatry of Cats finishes with a comprehensive view of feline welfare management, how to treat cats humanely and how to house them responsibly given their behaviors. This is an ideal resource for feline behavioral specialists, veterinarians and domestic animal researchers and practitioners, including veterinary technicians, students and even feline owners.

  • Genomic Surveillance and Pandemic Preparedness

    • 1st Edition
    • Rajesh Pandey
    • English
    Genomic Surveillance and Pandemic Preparedness offers practical, in-depth instruction in where, how, and why genomic surveillance may be applied. Drawing heavily from the learnings during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book covers different aspects of microbes with a focus on viral genome sequencing and analysis, implementation and inference of genomic surveillance, and global data sharing best practices for future pandemic preparedness. Here, more than a dozen international authors consider host and pathogen genome interaction, population-level prevalence, individual disease susceptibility and gene protection, pathogen mutation evolutionary dynamics, RNA modulation of infection, pathogen diversity, and the role of coinfections and comorbidities in disease severity. A wide range of examples, from bacterial pathogens to fungal and viral infections, with an emphasis on recent COVID-19 analysis, are discussed. Finally, the authors provide step-by-step instruction in experimental and computational approaches for genomic surveillance, including nucleic acid isolation, sequencing library preparation, functional sequencing analysis, and bioinformatics pipelines. Throughout this book, importance is placed on inference—moving from genomic sequencing to meaningful genomic surveillance that bolsters pandemic preparedness.
