The book I read was called “Dogs, Zoonoses, and Public Health”. The book was edited by Calum N.L. Macpherson, Francois X. Meslin and Alexander I. Wandeler. I originally discovered this book at the Iowa State University library. Because it is used mostly in upper level situations, initially the style of writing was hard to get used to. Many big medical and statistic words were used. In result of this, the book took me a little longer to read through. Long, detailed processes were described in this book. At times, it would be hard for me to follow what they were saying, so I would have to go back and reread.
After getting used to the unfamiliar style of writing, I was able to learn a lot about from this book. It was full of facts, with citations, to back up the claims. It got straight to the point with procedures professionals go through to communicate the process of vaccine testings and trials. This book was also helpful at providing information over certain diseases that can be treated with vaccines. It included how pets are tested for a disease and followed by which vaccine is recommended to treat it. The editors were also effective at giving a detailed explanation on the different ways an animal can be treated at the vet for a particular disease. They recognize not every procedure works for every patient, so they included alternatives, such as “diagnostic testing”, to give a better idea of all the ways veterinarians can test. The editors arranged the book in an organized fashion. It was easy to read the general information they wanted to share about vaccines at the start of the book. Then it moved into more specifics and categorized diseases and their corresponding vaccine. I enjoyed this arrangement because it was easier to read and comprehend the information. I would rate this book a four out of five. The book was hard to follow in places that included a lot of information and unfamiliar words, but overall I found it informative and reliable.
