Infection prevention and control is vital within a veterinary setting, but can find itself an automated part of care--and therefore vulnerable to time constraints, forgetfulness, and routine. Beginning with an introduction to the importance of infection control, dedicated chapters in this book then consider key principles such as hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, infection control for the surgical and hospitalized patient, and care for immunosuppressed individuals. Importantly, this book presents an up-to-date exploration of responsible antibiotic use in the context of rising resistance.

This, the third volume in the series Climate Change and Fish Health, describes how finfish in cage culture and their pathogens are directly or indirectly affected by ongoing changes to the environment.

The third edition of Diseases and Disorders of Finfish in Cage Culture has been renamed to be included in the series, and is completely updated and revised. It has: -Nine updated chapters with new expert contributions from around the world-New material includes chapters on algal blooms, biosecurity and fish welfare-An emphasis on practical recommendations and changes that can be made to improve fish health

Despite the increased research interest in tourism in Asia, most research has focused on the key destinations the region hosts (China, Macao, Hong Kong, Thailand), neglecting others which are less well explored. As such little is known about the marketing efforts and practices along with the successes and challenges countries in the Southeast Asia sub-region have been experiencing. This book aims to address this oversight by exploring the marketing approaches, techniques, and tools used by various countries in the region both collectively and individually to manage their tourism offerings and position them in the global tourism market. It includes chapters on: China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Macao, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Key PointsIt offers a contemporary and insightful look at various case studies in Southeast Asia using inter-disciplinary perspectives and a range of methodological approaches and tools;It provides case studies developed by tourism researchers who are experts in their researched context countries;It focuses on several countries which are at different stages of development;It explores specific marketing strategies in Southeast Asian destinations, considering global trends and forces to understand the marketing environment.The book will be of interest to tourism marketing researchers, practitioners, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students who will find these insightful contemporary case studies useful in a classroom.

This beautifully illustrated book shows the incredible variety of courtship behaviors and celebrates the wonderful natural history of a wide range of insects. By studying model species - such as the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster - researchers have discovered how genes control and influence courtship behavior, via proteins, biochemical pathways and neural circuits. This book integrates these diverse fields into a framework constructed around courtship and mate-finding, bringing together studies from the laboratory and the field.

There is currently no water cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of the nine rivers that flow across the border, none possess a formal agreement or mechanism to manage shared water resources. Further, there is very little information available about the status of environment, hydrology, and water resources management for these river basins which could be used as a starting point for dialogues on transboundary water coordination. This State of the Basins Report co-develops an overview of the three most important river basins, in collaboration with water professionals and government agencies in the two countries. It covers water resources, land resources, ecological health, environment, climate change, and the social and economic conditions for sustainable management of these precious resources. It will inform decision making within the two countries, and begin to establish benefits that can accrue from more active collaboration on these shared waters. Key PointsIt features extensive engagement and co-development with Afghan and Pakistani professionalsIt focuses on portions of the Indus shared by Afghanistan and PakistanThe first book on the shared waters in the Indus, developed in the context of regional realities associated with post-August 2021 Taliban takeover.The book is aimed at government decision makers, private sector investors, universities, donors, intermediary organizations that work directly with farmers, researchers and students. It is a reference book for graduate students and researchers working on these basins, and on transboundary river and lake basin management in Asia and beyond.

Due to its increasing popularity as a plant-based meat alternative, jackfruit is being introduced in more countries, such as the USA and Mexico that have the climate to support it.

This book presents a clear set of integrative concepts for understanding the overall physiology and growth of temperate deciduous fruit trees. The emphasis is on overarching principles rather than detailed descriptions of tree physiology or differences among the numerous species of fruit trees. Although the focus is on deciduous fruit trees many aspects apply to evergreen fruit trees and trees that grow naturally in unmanaged situations.
