Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria, 2nd edition (available online from NCBI bookshelf)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK254223/
The second edition of the WHO's 'Guidelines for the Treatment of Malaria' presents evidence-based and updated advice for malaria diagnosis and treatment to assist in the formulation and application of policies and strategies by countries in which the disease is endemic. The Guidelines outline the diagnosis and treatment protocols for uncomplicated and severe malaria caused by all species of Plasmodium. This applies to young children, pregnant women and HIV/AIDS patients, as well as to travelers from nonmalarious zones, and in case of epidemics and complex emergency situations.
Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals 8th edition (available online from NCBI bookshelf)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK54050/
The purpose of the 'Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals' is to present institutions with proper guidelines for the ethical care and proper use of animals for scientific research. It is also intended to assist investigators in planning and conducting animal experiments. The Guide presents recommendations based on expert opinions in published records, scientific values, and proper application of methods for humane animal care and use to obtain high-quality research.
Genomes, 2nd edition (available online from NCBI bookshelf)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK21128/
The book is an integrated approach for understanding the role of genome. It focuses on the topics central to molecular genetics and molecular biology. The book is authored by Terence A. Brown, from the Department of Biomolecular Sciences, UMIST, Manchester, UK.
Pathogen Portal
http://pathogenportal.org/portal/portal/PathPort/Home
Pathogen portal provides links to the Bioinformatics Resource Centers sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and maintained by The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. The Bioinformatics Resource Centers provide scientists with web-based resources of scientific communities conducting basic and applied research on organisms that may be used in biowarfare or bioterrorism, or that cause emerging or re-emerging diseases.
EuPathDB: Eukaryotic Pathogen Database
http://eupathdb.org/eupathdb/
EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center for Biodefense and Emerging/Re-emerging Infectious Diseases is intended as a source for genomic information on eukaryotic pathogens in the following websites: AmoebaDB, CryptoDB, FungiDB, MicrosporidiaDB, PiroplasmaDB, PlasmoDB, ToxoDB, TrichDB, TriTrpDB. The EuPathDB databases are funded by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Interactive Tree of Life
http://itol.embl.de/index.shtml
The interactive tree of life represents an online means for displaying and manipulating of phylogenetic trees. It offers most of the characteristics available in other tree viewers; in addition, it provides a circular tree layout that facilitates the visualizing of mid-sized trees (up to several thousand leaves). Trees can be exported to several graphical formats, both bitmap and vector based.
Zoonotic Diseases Center of Food Security and Public Health, Iowa State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, USA
http://www.cfsph.iastate.edu/Zoonoses/index.php
Besides psychological and physiological benefits to humans, interactions with animals may predispose to many zoonotic diseases. This website was developed by Center of Food Security and Public Health to provide information on zoonotic diseases to help raise awareness and knowledge of risk factors of such diseases, as well as to provide steps for prevention and reduction of zoonotic disease transmission.
