A Review Of Zoonotic Diseases Of Special Importance In Subarctic And Arctic Regions

Description:

Eskimos are subject to fish tapeworm infections as a result of their cultural practice of eating raw or partially cooked fish. Eating raw polar bear meat or walrus is considered responsible for the prevalence of trichinosis, with its usual mortality rate. Among the non-parasitic zoonoses, rabies and tularemia deserve attention. This is contained in the middle of a report. Has no headings or other indicators.
