Medical Entomology: A Textbook on Public Health and Veterinary Problems Caused by Arthropods

By Bruce F. Eldridge and John D. Edman

Medical Entomology: A Textbook on Public Health and Veterinary Problems Caused by Arthropods PDF is designed primarily as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate courses in Medical, Public Health and Veterinary Entomology. Its uniqueness is that its emphasis is on disease as opposed to arthropods. It includes general discussions of epidemiology, transmission, disease control, vector control and disease surveillance. In addition, it contains chapters oriented towards the many specific arthropod-borne diseases. Furthermore, the book discusses the many direct impacts that parasitic insects have on human and animal health. The arthropods themselves are dealt with in two introductory chapters.Apart from (post)graduate students, healthcare professionals in the field of arthropod-borne infectious diseases as well as entomologists interested in understanding the medical relevance of the species they study will find this book an extensive and useful guide to further their insights.

Signals and Systems for Bioengineers A MATLAB®-Based Introduction, Second Edition (2012)

By John Semmlow

Signals and Systems for Bioengineers, Second Edition, is the only textbook that relates important electrical engineering concepts to biomedical engineering and biological studies. It explains in detail the basic engineering concepts that underlie biomedical systems, medical devices, biocontrol, and biosignal analysis. It is perfect for the one-semester bioengineering course usually offered in conjunction with a laboratory on signals and measurements which presents the fundamentals of systems and signal analysis. The target course occupies a pivotal position in the bioengineering curriculum and will play a critical role in the future development of bioengineering students.

This book provides increased coverage of time-domain signal analysis as well as biomeasurement, using examples in ultrasound and electrophysiology. It also presents new applications in biocontrol, with examples from physiological systems modeling such as the respiratory system. Signals and Systems for Bioengineers contains double the number of Matlab and non-Matlab exercises to provide ample practice solving problems – by hand and with computational tools. More biomedical figures are found throughout the book. For instructors using this text in their course, an accompanying website (www.elsevierdirect.com, in Semmlow page) includes support materials such as MATLAB data and functions needed to solve the problems, a few helpful routines, and all of the MATLAB examples.

Production of Freshwater Fish with Unconventional Ingredients in Egypt

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Magdy M. A. Gaber

Production of Freshwater Fish with Unconventional Ingredients in Egypt was undertaken as a result of the growing intensity of research in warm water fish nutrition across the country. Recognizing this momentum, the subcommittee on warm water fish nutrition decided that the latest findings warranted publication in book form. After reviewing the scope of previous works, the committee concluded that an expansion in both content and species coverage was necessary. As a result, this book provides a more comprehensive background in fish nutrition, and its title reflects the broader range of species now included.

Diseases of Carp and Other Cyprinid Fishes

By David Hoole , David Bucke, Peter Burgess, Ian Wellby

Diseases of Carp and Other Cyprinid Fishes PDF. Cyprinids rank as one of the most commercially important groups of freshwater fishes and are exploited for many purposes; as a human food source, especially in Europe and Asia; as sport fish; and as ornamental fish for ponds and aquaria. Certain species are also cultured as baitfish and several of the small cyprinids such as the zebrafish have become internationally accepted laboratory models for toxicology testing and molecular research. A thorough understanding of cyprinid health and diseases is fundamental to the successful management and exploitation of these fishes for freshwater fisheries, pisciculture, and ornamental productions.

This practical guide to disease diagnosis, prevention, and control includes numerous colour plates and covers a comprehensive array of diseases – infectious and non-infectious – of cultivated and wild cyprinids.

international appeal, in view of the worldwide interest in cyprinid fish
authors’ experience (70 years between them)
approximately 100 full colour photographs
practical, but based on the latest research
valuable reference for a wide range of professionals and enthusiasts. Suitable also for students of parasitology, virology, bacteriology and fisheries

Diseases in Marine Aquarium Fish

By Gerald Bassleer

Diseases in Marine Aquarium Fish PDF. With 20 years of international experience, Dr. Gerald Bassleer has written a pratical guide which is easy reading for the fish hobbiest, fish trader, veterinarian, fishery biologist and many others involved in the keeping of fish. Instead of a comprehensive discussion of fish diseases, this book has covered the most important and common diseases which occur in aquaria. With over 300 color photographs, a visual approach is taken without scientific or complicated terminology. The goal of this book is to recognize the most common fish maladies, and to find simple treatments to cure problems early. Diseases of tropical aquarium fish have always been a difficult matter for the fish hobbyist because of a lack of knowledge about the disease origins.
This is the new revised edition 2004. An experienced professional presents the principal information. Presented in a clear, easy- to-understand manner.

Contents include:
Causes and prevention of diseases in fish.
Recognizing the symptoms of disease – in practice and under the microscope.
Drugs and combinations of treatments, which even non-specialists can apply.

Mathematical Modelling in Animal Nutrition

By

Vet eBooks

-

By J. France, E. Kebreab

Mathematical modelling is increasingly applicable to the practical sciences. Here, mathematical approaches are applied to the study of mechanisms of digestion and metabolism in primary animal species. Farmed animals – ruminants, pigs, poultry and fish are comprehensively covered, as well as sections on companion animals. Common themes between species, such as energy and amino acid metabolism, are explored with a worldwide approach. Mathematical Modelling in Animal Nutrition provides an integrated approach to mathematical modelling in animal nutrition.
