The book elaborates on disease and pathogenesis in a systematic way, describing disease evaluation, pathogenesis, identifications of pathogens and their severity to animals, exhibition of disease manifestation, and preventive and treatment strategies to counteract the aetiopathogenesis caused by pathogens. Further, the book gives insights on the microbial pathogenesis of goats, an overview of clinicals diseases of goats, and the impact on human health, aiming its content towards a broad audience, including microbiologists, veterinary scientists, and those working in the industry.
- Provides knowledge about diseases associated with various types of microbial pathogens
- Emphasizes the importance of various diseases in goats and their influence on human health
- Schematically delivers the magnitude of the diseases and their clinical management practices
- Describes disease evaluation and its pathogenesis
- Identifies the pathogens and their severity to animals, along with an exhibition of disease manifestation
