The Potential of Microbes for a Circular Economy provides an understanding of the role of microbes in a circular economy (CE). The book covers the development of effective bio-based formulations for field applications and describes the basic principles and applications, the important role of microorganisms, and new insights into a sustainable ecosystem for the circular economy. In addition, it compiles the latest advancement in the field of CE by covering microbes and microbial products, thus providing microbiologists the tools to engage with the public, policymakers, and industry to inform the debate on addressing current challenges.

In 2020 we lost Noel Rose, co-editor of the classic Infection and Autoimmunity. To honor and respect his work, a group of experts in the field have taken the initiative to make this book perpetual. The third edition of Infection and Autoimmunity updates all the recent and leading papers on infection and autoimmunity, in addition to a dedicated section on to the correlation between SARS-CoV-2 infection and autoimmunity. From the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous papers have been published, including studies conducted by the editors and authors of the book, on COVID-19 and autoimmunity, and therefore this knowledge has been incorporated into this new edition. The addition and extended coverage on SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and autoimmunity are pivotal for the third edition of the book due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical students and practitioners, as well as academic staff in medical schools globally, are enthusiastic in searching for better understanding of the correlation between infection and autoimmunity in general, and the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on the immunce system in particular, especially in terms of autoimmunity related to the virus.

Mite-Human Interactions: Nuisances, Vectors, Parasites, Allergens, and Commensals offers coverage on the neglected topic of mites, their diversity, and the conditions caused or vectored by them. The first part of the book differentiates the types of mites as arthropod-borne infectious disease vectors (scrub typhus, rickettsialpox), as bothersome pests (animal and itch mites), as potential allergens (dust and food mites), and as human commensals (follicle mites). The book further provides information on how to diagnose and treat mite-borne infections, infestations, and allergies and recommends ways to prevent and control them.In addition, the book also delves into topics such as the potential psychological impact of mites with the unusual condition of delusional parasitosis, also known as known as Morgellons disease and addresses the socioeconomic disparity issues in infections, infestations, and mite-associated conditions.

Fundamentals of Viroid Biology provides a comprehensive introduction to emerging research on viroids and their biology. The book is organized into three parts, with sections that discuss historical perspectives as well as information on classifications, structure, life cycle and replication and viroid movement. The book goes on to discuss viroid diseases and their geographic distributions across Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, North and South America. Viroid pathogenesis and viroid-host interaction rounds out the coverage which includes viroid associated disease symptoms and viroid regions associated and viroid-host protein and translations. Detection and disease control strategies are also covered. Contributed by an international group of renown contributors in viroid research, this book is a useful introductory reference to advanced undergraduates and graduate and postgraduate students. It is also ideal for early career researchers and scientists engaged in the study of viroid biology, virology, plant virology and microbiology.

Introduction to Diseases, Diagnosis, and Management of Dogs and Cats covers the diseases of dogs and cats and their remedial measure after drug application. The book describes disease evaluation and its pathogenesis, identification of pathogens and their severity to animals, exhibition of disease manifestation, and preventive and treatment strategies to counteract the etiopathogenesis caused by several types of pathogens. The exhibitions of animal disease severity as well as clinical manifestation are also justified for microbial pathogen identification. Finally, treatment regimes are evaluated to counteract diseases, with an emphasis on etiological factors, disease diagnosis and control measures. Users will find this to be an idea reference on recent advancements in diseases that affect cats and dogs that also highlights the management of diseases in a well-structured fashion.
