Tuberculosis, Leprosy And Mycobacterial Diseases Of Man And Animals, The Many Hosts Of Mycobacteria Pdf Download

By Harshini Mukundan, Mark Chambers, Ray Waters and Michelle Larsen

Mycobacteria are bacterial pathogens which cause diseases in humans and non-human animals. Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Mycobacterial Diseases of Man and Animals will primarily cover the most important and widely researched groups of mycobacteria: members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium leprae, across a wide range of host species. M. tuberculosis and M. bovis are particularly relevant with the increasing drug resistance and co-infection with HIV associated with M. tuberculosis and the possible cross-infection of badgers and cattle associated with M. bovis. This book will provide a reference for researchers working in different fields creating a work which draws together information on different pathogens, and by considering the diseases in a zoonotic context provides a One Health approach to these important groups of diseases.
