The first study of epidemiological issues in an interdisciplinary fashion across human, animal, AND vegetable lines.

Emerging diseases cause potentially devastating health crises and are a major issue for plant, animal, and human health. Difficult to anticipate, as they are both new and unpredictable, they invite a multi-disciplinary approach. This book specifically studies them through actual cases of biological detection, analyzing instances of emergence, their statistical processing, and their determining environmental factors.
