We live in an era of emerging infectious diseases and the threat of bioterrorism [

]. Most of the infectious agents of modern concern, from plague to avian influenza
H5N1, are zoonotic diseases: infectious agents that reside in quiet animal reservoir
cycles that are transmitted occasionally to humans. The public health, health care,
and veterinary communities have an enormous challenge in the early recognition, reporting,
treatment, and prevention of zoonotic diseases. An intimate understanding of the natural
ecology, geographic distribution, clinical signs, lesions, and diagnosis of these
diseases is essential for the early recognition and control of these diseases.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
