This reference book offers an in-depth analysis of the fundamental aspects, causative agents, and clinical manifestations of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases of viral origin (EID-REID). It elucidates the role of evolutionary processes in the emergence, adaptation, and dissemination of pathogens. The initial chapter explores the causative agents behind EID-REID, providing a comprehensive overview of their origins, characteristics, and modes of transmission. The book further presents the structure, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of various viral pathogens, including notable viruses such as the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever Orthonairovirus (CCHFV), Rift Valley fever virus, Lassa virus, Nipah virus (NiV), Filoviridae, and coronaviruses (MERS, SARS, SARS-CoV-2). Additionally, the book elucidates the multifaceted landscape of treatment strategies, highlighting the pivotal role of pharmacological strategies, investigational drugs, vaccines, and immunomodulatory approaches. It also underscores the importance of clinical examination, immunoassays, and molecular diagnostic techniques for the early detection and accurate diagnosis of viral EID-REID. Toward the end, the book sheds light on the pivotal role of the Ayurveda, homoeopathic system of medicine, medical nutrition therapy, computational biology, bioinformatics, and systems biology in advancing disease management paradigms. This book is intended for epidemiologists, virologists, infectious disease specialists, and other healthcare practitioners who seek in-depth knowledge about emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

This book examines the detrimental impact of electronic waste on human health, animal welfare, and environmental ecosystems. The initial chapter discusses and explores the damaging effect of electronic waste on human health, animal welfare, and environmental ecosystems. The initial chapter discusses electronic waste’s sources, composition, and toxicity. The book exposes the far-reaching consequences of electronic waste on our planet, from the contamination of air, water, and soil to the alarming threats to wildlife, insects, and microorganisms. It also underscores the risks of e-waste to food safety, animal farming practices, public health, and the nervous system.Furthermore, the book delves into innovative recycling technologies, systematic management strategies, and the economic impacts associated with e-waste management, emphasizing the necessity of sustainable value chains and adopting a circular economy approach. It offers insights into the financial dimensions of e-waste management and the potential for creating sustainable value chains.It provides a comprehensive perspective on this global challenge and offers sustainable solutions for the future. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists working to understand the harmful impact of electronic waste on health, the environment, and sustainability. The sources are composition, and toxicity of electronic waste.Key featuresExamines the threats posed by electronic waste (e-waste) to human, animal, and environmental healthPresents sources, types, composition, and toxicity of electronic wastePlaces a strong emphasis on the impact of e-waste on wildlife and biodiversity, highlighting threats to ecosystemsReviews impact of electronic waste on animal farming practices and the associated health concernsDiscusses innovative recycling technologies and systematic management strategies for e-wasteExplores the potential for a circular economy approach in e-waste management, emphasizing sustainability
