The first book of its kind published in the United States since 1957, this comprehensive reference/text provides a thoroughly updated and expanded treatment of dairy microbiology from basic information on dairy foods to special topics, including the microbiology of milk-producing animals, probiotics, and conversion of whey into useful products. Applied Dairy Microbiology discusses the microbiology of the rumen and the role of microorganisms in milk synthesis explores the causes and contamination of raw milk by mastitis offers solutions to problems associated with raw milk, fluid milk products, concentrated and dried milk and whey, frozen dairy desserts, butter, other unfermented foods, in addition to fermented milks and cheese examines the genetics and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria as well as how they are used to produce fermented products emphasizes the importance of eliminating health concerns of salmonellosis, staphylococcal food poisoning, listeriosis, and other diseases introduces the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approach to controlling pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in dairy food processing features sampling and testing methods for assuring the quality and safety of milk products provides details on treating dairy wastes and complying with regulatory requirements and more! Containing over 1800 bibliographic citations, tables, drawings, and photographs, Applied Dairy Microbiology is an essential reference for food and dairy microbiologists, scientists, and technologists; quality control specialists; administrators of food and dairy programs in local, state, and federal regulatory agencies; dairy plant managers; ingredient suppliers to dairy industries; and veterinarians; as well as a lucid text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

</li>
<li>investigates virus-induced demyelination, emphasizing models such as canine distemper (CDV), corona, visna, and herpes simplex viruses; the semliki forest virus (SFV); and animal models of autoimmune demyelination 
</li>
<li>notes the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis, prognosis, natural history, and as a guide to therapy 
</li>
<li>explores the growing evidence for axonal damage as a major cause of disability in MS 
</li>
<li>summarizes the natural history of MS and delineates factors influencing exacerbations and progression of the disease 
</li>
<li>assesses current clinical and biological prognostic indicators for accurate diagnoses of MS as opposed to other idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IIDDs) and evaluates the growing number of therapies for treating MS

Providing an overview of the fundamental aspects of molecular fungal development, this book covers different elements in the maturational and reproductive cycles of selected fungal taxa. Illustrating various molecular pathways in parasites and hosts, the book explores the development of interventional strategies for combating disease. Highlights include discussions of pseudohyphal yeast growth, hyphal tip growth and genetic control of hyphae fusion, genetic control of aging, spore death, control of the generation of vegetative and sexual reproductive units, symbiotic interactions of fungi with the roots of higher plants, and parasitic interactions of fungi with both plants and animals.
