Organized primarily around the mechanisms of action of the toxins at the biochemical, physiological and pathological level, rather than by source, this handbook covers most toxins which have been clearly identified and characterized, but emphasizes toxins that are more important by virtue of the sign.
Many bacteria, animals, and plants produce toxins that can prove lethal to other organisms. Toxins are a form of "biological warfare" that helps their producer to survive and so confer an evolutionary advantage. They display an extraordinary range of complexity, from the formic acid provided by ants to bacterial proteins composed of thousands of ...
A study of foodborne disease, focusing on seafood and environmental toxins. This second edition discusses fish, shellfish, and freshwater and marine organisms affected by agricultural and food processing products, including raw sewage, industrial effluents, trash and garbage, pesticide runoff from crop lands and top soils, and more.
This is the second of three volumes discussing food-borne diseases. It covers infections caused by viruses, parasites and fungi. Coverage includes: the transmission and clinical aspects of viral infections, virus-by-virus; medical management of parasites; epidemiology of food-borne viruses; immunodiagnosis of nematodes; practical laboratory ...
