The present book is a novel attempt to make available the students an exhaustive, interesting and valuable information on the subject of Economic Zoology. All kinds of animal pathogens such as protozoans, helminths, nematodes, mites and ticks and household insects, directly or indirectly causing diseases in other animals including humans, have been described in detail covering every aspect of their life history along with the symptoms appearing on the hosts, and their prevention, control and cure. Furthermore, along with the animal pathogens mentioned above, plant pathogens, such as insects, acting as pests of a variety of crops have also been described in full detail. Apart from the harmful effects, animals are also beneficial to mankind. This seems to be justified when we go through the chapters relating to apiculture, lac culture and sericulture along with fisheries, prawn culture, pearl culture, cattle farming, pig farming and poultry farming. In the second edition, the book introduces a section on 'Protozoans and Soil Fertility'. Besides, Multiple Choice Questions have been appended in each chapter to help students analysing the area of their strengths and weaknesses. Key Features Chapters enriched with photomicrographs present a realistic description. Exclusive life cycle diagrams of pathogens are helpful in understanding important events of their life. Exhaustive coverage of the subject matter helps students to understand the concepts with clarity and provide a wide range of information in a single volume. Chapter-end review questions help students to prepare for the examinations and assess their subject knowledge.

The book covers the undergraduate and postgraduate syllabi of all the major universities for the economic zoology course. Each chapter presents the discussion of the topics in a scientific way, accompanied with relevant diagrams and pictures. Each chapter is followed by a set of short, descriptive and multiple-choice questions which closely follow the trends of questions asked in degree examinations as well as competitive examinations. It also contains a set of key points that would help the students to retain the learning. Recent data and research in the respective fields of economic zoology on the one hand will satisfy the students and on the other hand will prove a handbook for the research scholars. Keeping in mind the multidisciplinary nature of economic zoology, the biology of some of the common disease-causing organisms and bionomics of the arthropod vectors which are intimately associated with the diseases have been incorporated along with the main topics like sericulture, lac culture, apiculture, poultry, fisheries, dairy science, and so on.

Recently Applied and Economic Zoology has been included in national syllabus by UGC for undergraduates. The book examines insect pests, animal pests, natural enemies, beneficial insects, beneficial animals, agricultural chemicals and more. The current book is blueprint for undergraduate students to aware about our natural wild life and its economic importance. The book contains four chapters with illustrations and boxed materials. In the chapter 1, we have covered parasitology, in which we have deliberately discussed about parasites of domestic animals and human, structures, life cycles, pathogenicity, diseases, symptoms and it control. In chapter 2, we consciously talk about vectors and pests. Here, we covered life cycle and control of pest and vectors such as Gundhi bug, Sugarcane leafhopper, Rodents, Termites and Mosquitoes. Chapter 3 is about animal breeding and animal cultures. In this, we stared with basic introduction about breeding and culture, difference between them and then detailed discussion about Animals and Human Society, Animal Breeding, Genetic engineering applications in Animal Breeding, Breeding and Variation, Aquaculture, Pisciculture, Poultry farming, Sericulture, Apiculture, Lac-culture. The last chapter has wild life of India. In this chapter we provided detail for Wild Life Protection and Acts, Documentation of Wild Life, Rare, Endangered and Endemic species, Protected Area Network, Conservation of Wild Life, In-situ and Ex-situ conservation.

In the last few decades there has been an ever-increasing component in most BSc Zoology degree courses of cell biology, physiology and genetics, for spectacular developments have taken place in these fields. Some aspects of biotechnology are now also being included. In order to accommodate the new material, the old zoology courses were altered and the traditional two-year basis of systematics of the animal kingdom, comparative anatomy (and physiology) and evolution, was either severely trimmed or reduced and presented in an abridged form under another title. Soon after these course alterations came the swing to modular teaching in the form of a series of shorter, separate courses, some of which were optional. The entire BSc degree course took on a different appearance and several different basic themes became possible. One major result was that in the great majority of cases taxonomy and systematics were no longer taught and biology students graduated without this basic training. We field biologists did appreciate the rising interest in ecology and environ mental studies, but at the same time lamented the shortage of taxonomic skills, so that often field work was based on incorrect identifications. For years many of us with taxonomic inclinations have been bedevilled by the problem of teaching systematics to undergraduates. At a guess, maybe only 5% of students find systematics interesting. It is, however, the very basis of all studies in biology - the correct identification of the organism concerned and its relationships to others in the community.

Ethnozoology: Animals In Our Lives represents the first book about this discipline, providing a discussion on key themes on human-animal interactions and their implications, along with recent major advances in research. Humans share the world with a bewildering variety of other animals, and have interacted with them in different ways. This variety of interactions (both past and present) is investigated through ethnozoology, which is a hybrid discipline structured with elements from both the natural and social sciences, as it seeks to understand how humans have perceived and interacted with faunal resources throughout history. In a broader context, ethnozoology, and its companion discipline, ethnobotany, form part of the larger body of the science of ethnobiology. In recent years, the importance of ethnozoological/ethnobiological studies has increasingly been recognized, unsurprisingly given the strong human influence on biodiversity. From the perspective of ethnozoology, the book addresses all aspects of human connection, animals and health, from its use in traditional medicine, to bioprospecting derivatives of fauna for pharmaceuticals, with expert contributions from leading researchers in the field. - Draws on editors' and contributors' extensive research, experience and studies covering ethnozoology and ethnobiology - Covers all aspects of human-animal interaction through the lens of this emerging discipline, with coverage of both domestic and wild animal topics - Presents topics of great interest to a variety of researchers including those in wildlife/conservation (biologists, ecologists, conservationists) and domestic-related disciplines (psychologists, sociologists)
