  • Vaccines for Veterinarians

    • 1st Edition
    • Ian R. Tizard
    • English
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Veterinary Medicine**Both a theoretical text and a practical handbook, Vaccines for Veterinarians is the first of its kind to bring the basic science of animal vaccination and the practical details of vaccine use together in one single volume. From the first chapter on the history of vaccination and the triumph of rinderpest eradication to the last chapter on the rapidly emerging field of cancer vaccines, this book offers a truly comprehensive grounding in established and emerging vaccines for both major and minor species. Specific topics include viral vectored vaccines, DNA-plasmid vaccines, RNA vaccines, reverse vaccinology, the complexities of adjuvant use, vaccine failures and adverse events, vaccine production and regulation, robotic vaccination machines, contraceptive and production-enhancing vaccines, and so much more. At a time when resistance to human vaccination is receiving much publicity, this evidence-based book is the ideal counter to ill-informed speculation — serving as a timely reminder that vaccination is essential for the control of infectious diseases in animals.

  • Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors

    Clinically Promising Candidates for Anti-diabetic Drug Discovery
    • 1st Edition
    • Usman Ghani
    • English
    Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors: Clinically Promising Candidates for Anti-diabetic Drug Discovery presents information that researchers can use to address a whole host of promising leads for the development of novel, oral, anti-diabetic drugs with improved efficacy and fewer side effects. Beginning with a discussion of the huge potential of α -glucosidase inhibitor leads and adaptations, and highlighting their importance within the field of anti-diabetic drug discovery, the book provides chemical structures, detailed background information and in vivo and in vitro biological activity data, and more economical adaptations of these structures. Drawing on the author’s expert research in the field, this book highlights promising leads for development and helps researchers select the most appropriate inhibitors for their own work. It is a useful tool not only for anti-diabetic drug development researchers, but also for those whose research may be enhanced by an understanding of α -glucosidase inhibitor chemistry and activity.
