A zoonosis is any disease or infection naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans and vice versa. Humans are often an incidental host that acquire disease through close contact with an infected animal that may or may not be symptomatic.
More than 200 zoonoses of various types are recognised worldwide. They can be caused by a range of disease-causing agents such as viruses, bacteria and many more. Of 1 415 disease-causing agents known to infect humans, 61% are zoonotic. Statistical data indicate that 15% or more of the human population will pick up a zoonotic infection at some stage of their lives.
Zoonoses also undermine the health, productivity and reproductivity of livestock on which humans rely for their food, fibre, labour and transport. The annual worldwide monetary losses due to tuberculosis, brucellosis and rabies in cattle amount to several billion rand.
The relationship between people and animals offers important mutual benefits. Therefore it is imperative that the health of such pets and animals is beyond doubt to protect us against zoonotic infections.
Zoonoses can be prevented and controlled through the necessary knowledge and information. There is no reason to fear animals or avoid them to protect oneself from zoonoses, and this book, the result of collaboration between experts in veterinary and human medicine, presents the message very clearly: continue to enjoy your relationships with companion and other animals, the pleasure of watching and interacting with wildlife, fishing, working with animals and eating whatever your favourite food may be, as long as you are aware of possible risks. Take the appropriate hygienic precautions in terms of their health and yours to avoid infection.

The gripping and shocking story of three generations of the Sackler family and their roles in the stories of Valium and Oxycontin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing.
The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Oxford; the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations in the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing Oxycontin, a blockbuster painkiller that was a catalyst for the opioid crisis-an international epidemic of drug addiction which has killed nearly half a million people.

Many of the diseases people suffer from today are chronic and degenerative (e.g. cardiovascular disease, adult-onset diabetes or HIV/AIDS), and bring with them a range of psychological and social issues. Health care practitioners do not cure these diseases but take care of their patients by helping them understand and live with their conditions. Health, illness and disability: psychosocial approaches address the need for health care practitioners to be as skilled in working with and supporting people as in applying the assessment, therapy and/or treatment techniques for which they have been trained. Health, illness and disability emphasise a multidisciplinary team approach. Relevant aspects of the text have been illustrated with examples of indigenous South African situations as well as those of other cultures. Discussion questions, classroom exercises and/or home assignments have been provided to facilitate learning and application of the material covered.
Contents include the following: Emotional reactions to a disabling condition or disorder; counselling, family-focused interventions, group work and community work; psychosocial issues in TB, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease and stroke; psychosocial issues in chemical dependency; dying, death and bereavement; the patient-practitioner relationship; multiculturalism, ethics and psychosocial issues in stuttering, cerebral palsy and autismpsychosocial issues in stuttering, cerebral palsy autism. Health, illness and disability is intended as an academic text for student health care practitioners, as well as teachers of children with special educational needs, such as deaf learners. It is also intended as a ready reference for qualified practitioners and anyone interested in psychosocial approaches to health, illness and disability.

Home/community-based care addresses an issue which is becoming increasingly urgent in South Africa. Millions of people are affected by chronic diseases such as HIV and Aids, cancer and tuberculosis. With rising costs, lack of space and facilities in hospitals, providing care and support for these patients and their families in their own homes is a necessity.

How to Survive a Plague by David France is the riveting, powerful and profoundly moving story of the AIDS epidemic and the grass-roots movement of activists, many of them facing their own life-or-death struggles, who grabbed the reins of scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Around the globe, the 15.8 million people taking anti-AIDS drugs today are alive thanks to their efforts. Not since the publication of Randy Shilts's now classic And the Band Played On in 1987 has a book sought to measure the AIDS plague in such brutally human, intimate, and soaring terms. Weaving together the stories of dozens of individuals, this is an insider's account of a pivotal moment in our history and one that changed the way that medical science is practised worldwide.
