New edition of the&;market-leading&;benchtop reference on the diagnosis of internal and external parasites in animals, including expanded coverage of parasites of reptiles, birds,&;and other exotic species&;
Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, 9th&;Edition,&;allows for&;a&;quick and accurate reference to&;internal and external parasites&;found&;in a wide variety of&;domestic animals and&;laboratory animal host species. Focusing on the tests and information most relevant to daily veterinary practice, this classic benchtop manual contains a wealth of high-quality images to assist readers&;in&;diagnosing&;parasitic disease and identifying&;and treating relevant parasites. Contributions by leading experts in veterinary pathobiology and parasitology&;cover fecal examination for the diagnosis of parasitism, detection of parasites in the blood, diagnosis of arthropod parasites, and more.&;
The latest edition contains fully revised&;material&;throughout, including new and expanded information on immunodiagnostic and molecular diagnostic tests, additional parasite-specific material on the benefits and limitations of different test modalities, and increased&;coverage&;of&;reptiles, birds, and other exotic and laboratory animals.&;New&;sections include up-to-date information on anthelmintics,&;antiprotozoals, and other antiparasitic drugs, and&;challenging case studies&;that provide insights on&;situations where identification of parasites is especially difficult.&;Published under the auspices of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists&;(AAVP), this indispensable clinical manual:&;
- Describes accurate&;and&;cost-effective techniques for diagnosing parasitic infections in animals&;
- Presents clear and concise&;information on the distribution, life cycle, and&;significance&;of each parasite&;covered&;
- Contains hundreds of color clinical images to enable rapid picture-matching and aid in diagnosis&;
- Offers&;a spiral-bound format that allows the book to lie flat on the benchtop, ideal for regular use in daily practice&;
- Features revised content throughout,&;including new&;chapters and&;images,&;an improved format, an enhanced color scheme, and an updated companion website&;&;
Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, 9th&;Edition&;is an essential&;resource for practicing veterinarians, veterinary technicians, diagnosticians, researchers, and students in need of a timely and efficient reference on morphologic identification of parasites in different animal species.&;
