Global Perspectives on the Transmission of Zoonotic RNA Viruses from Wild Animal Species to Humans: Zoonotic, Epizootic, and Anthropogenic Viral Pathogens - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Nandi has extensive research experience in the field of infectious human viruses including HIV, IAV, HBV and natural infection of wild Indian primate species, that involves field work for blood sample collection from wild simians and laboratory-based research. She was among the first 3 authors worldwide to recognize the presence of Unintegrated DNA of HIV-1 as a molecular marker for HIV/AIDS in early 1990's. She is responsible for the identification of 5 novel viruses including HIV-1 like Indian SIVs, IAV-like influenza virus naturally infecting wild Indian primates.

Global Perspectives of the Transmission of Zoonotic RNA Viruses from Wild Animal Species to Humans: Zoonotic, Epizootic, and Anthropogenic Transmission Viral Pathogens is a comprehensive reference that elaborates and updates current knowledge on the transmission of zoonotic RNA viruses from different wild animal species to humans, as well as reverse transmission of the pathogens to humans that occurs across the globe. Coverage includes rodents, pigs, birds, and primates. This reference goes beyond the phenomena occurring in African and American regions to provide further study of zoonotic pathogens from the entire world, including various parts of Asia including India. This elucidates the knowledge of many diverse wild primate species, for a global perspective on the phenomena of cross-species transmissions of pathogenic RNA viruses.

Against the backdrop of the current global Covid-19 pandemic, this reference helps solve the problem of incomplete knowledge on global epidemiology of zoonotic RNA viruses. RNA viruses have pandemic, epidemic, and epizootic potentials caused by Influenza viruses, Avian Influenza viruses, and other infectious RNA viruses from different regions of the world. The host species diversity of this reference makes it the perfect resource for basic science researchers in virology, clinicians in infectious viral diseases, and public health experts.
