~Veterinary Microbiology and Microbial Disease byP. J. Quinn, B. K. Markey, F. C. Leonard, P. Hartigan, S. Fanning, E. S. FitzPatrick~

Microbiology is one of the core subjects for veterinary students, and since its
first publication in 2002, Veterinary Microbiology and Microbial Disease has become an essential text for students of veterinary medicine. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition updates the subject for pre-clinical and clinical veterinary students in a comprehensive manner. Individual sections deal with bacteriology, mycology and virology. Written by an academic team with many years of teaching experience, the book provides concise descriptions of groups of microorganisms and the diseases which they cause. Microbial pathogens are discussed in separate chapters which provide information on the more important features of each microorganism and its role in the pathogenesis of diseases of animals. The international and public health significance of these pathogens are reviewed comprehensively. The final section is concerned with the host and is organized according to the body system affected. Tables, boxes and flow diagrams provide information in an easily assimilated format. This edition contains new chapters on molecular diagnostics and on infectious conditions of the skin, cardiovascular system, urinary tract and musculoskeletal system. Many new colour diagrams are incorporated into this edition and each chapter has been updated.

~Ian_R._Tizard-Veterinary_Immunology ebook~

Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction has been the veterinary student's book of choice since 1977.
The 7th edition continues this tradition and has the added benefit of full-color photos and important new information. Still an excellent first-level textbook for students of veterinary and comparative medicine, this text also assists veterinarians by informing them about recent developments in immunology as they relate to domestic animals.

~INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIOLOGY~

MICROBIOLOGY:
Microbiology is defined as
"the study of organisms too
small to be clearly seen by
the unaided eye." These
organisms include viruses,
bacteria, algae, fungi,
archea, and protozoa.The field
of microbiology can be said
to be in its infancy relative
to older biological disciplines
such as zoology and botany.

MICROBIOLOGIST:
Microbiologists are
concerned with
characteristics and
functions such as morphology, cytology,
physiology, ecology,
taxonomy, genetics, and
molecular biology.

BRANCHES OF MICROBIOLOGY:


Bacteriology: The study of
bacteria.
Mycology: The study of fungi.
Protozoology: The study of protozoa.
Phycology: The study of algae.
Parasitology: The study of parasites.
Immunology: The study of the immune system.
Nano microbiology: The study of those microorganisms at nano level.
Exo microbiology:The study of microorganisms in outer space.
Virology:The study of viruses.
Marine Microbiology:The study of micro-organisms in ocean.

BRANCHES OF APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY:
Medical microbiology.
Pharmaceutical microbiology.
Industrial microbiology.
Microbial biotechnology.
Food microbiology.
Dairy microbiology.
Agricultural microbiology.
Veterinary microbiology.
Environmental microbiology.
