Without a doubt the recently accelerating globalization supports the import of agents of disease into countries where they never had been or where they had long since been eradicated, leading to a false sense of living on a “safe island.” These newly imported or reintroduced diseases – called “emerging diseases” – may lead to severe outbreaks in cases where the countries are not prepared to combat them, or in cases where viruses are introduced that cannot be controlled by medications or vaccines.  Arthropods are well known vectors for the spread of diseases. Thus their invasion from foreign countries and their spreading close to human dwellings must be blocked everywhere (in donor and receptor countries) using safe and effective measures.  This book presents reviews on examples of such arthropod-borne emerging diseases that lurk on the fringes of our crowded megacities. The following topics show that there is an ongoing invasion of potential vectors and that control measures must be used now in order to avoid disastrous outbreaks of mass diseases.

Die Gesundheit von Haus-, Nutz- und Heimtiere wird von einer Vielzahl von Parasiten bedroht, deren Anzahl in Zeiten der Globalisierung mit weltweiten Transporten von Waren, Pflanzen und Tieren ständig zunimmt. Viele Tierparasiten können auch den Menschen befallen und als sog. Zoonosen lebensbedrohliche Erkrankungen hervorrufen. Dieses Buch stellt die wichtigsten Parasiten von Hunden, Katzen, Wiederkäuern, Pferden, Schweinen, Kaninchen, Nagern, Geflügel, Fischen, Reptilien und Bienen dar. Jede Parasitose ist in 11 Abschnitte untergliedert: Namensgebung - Verbreitung/Epidemiologie - Morphologie/Lebenszyklus - Symptome der Erkrankung - Diagnose - Infektionsweg - Prophylaxe - Inkubationszeit - Präpatenz - Patenz - Therapie Das Buch wendet sich an Tierärzte, Tierpfleger, Laborpersonal und Tierhalter sowie an Studierende der Veterinärmedizin und Biologie. In kurzen Texten, informativen Tabellen und auf über 500 farbigen Abbildungen und Schemata werden die wichtigsten Aspekte des Parasitenbefalls dargestellt und aktuelle Hinweise zur Vermeidung und Bekämpfung der Parasiten gegeben. 100 Fragen helfen bei der Überprüfung des eigenen Wissens. Ist die Gefahr erst einmal erkannt, kann sie heute relativ schnell mit geeigneten Maßnahmen gebannt werden.

The stages of Blastocystis have been known for 101 years. However, many facts are still disputed, e.g. even the question whether it is a true pathogen or a commensal present in sometimes life-threatening diarrheas. The present book evaluates in chapters contributed by renowned researchers the latest findings on: ¢Landmarks in the discovery of Blastocystis ¢Epidemiology, transmission and zoonotic potential ¢Morphology of human and animal Blastocystis isolates ¢Clinical aspects of Blastocystis infections ¢Behavioral decision analysis: what makes us sick? ¢Blastocystis-host interactions ¢Molecular approaches on the systematical position ¢Genetic polymorphism ¢Blastocystis from a statistical point of view ¢Diarrheas due to different agents of disease ¢Zoonotic diseases in comparison As such, this book provides a broad range of information for people working in this field, for physicians and veterinarians who are confronted with clinical cases, teachers, students and technical staff members in the fields of microbiology, parasitology and diagnostic methods.
