REVIEWS

"Chapters feature bold-face major topic headings and end with a comprehensive list of references. Data is summarized in tables and diagrams, but illustrations are minimal in the first half of the book. Both tables and images are of exceptional quality. The book concludes with a thorough and intuitively structured index...[it is] of unquestionable utility to public health officials and others focusing on animal influenza." (Doody Enterprises 17/03/2017)

Readers will find many useful tables and figures for ready reference and teaching materials"....."The authors have successfully improved the quality of an already good product.
