Viral Zoonoses and Food of Animal Origin A Re-Evaluation of Possible Hazards for Human Health

Since the central theme of this book is the transmission of disease agents through the food chain, we will examine influenza viruses from this perspective. Influenza A viruses are found in humans, pigs, horses, sea mammals, and also in wild aquatic and domestic birds [23]. How are they spread? Betwe...
