Description
The latest edition of this extensive text provides the most current information on all parasites commonly encountered in veterinary medicine. High-quality illustrations help readers identify and treat parasites of every kind. A discussion of dog and cat parasites examines the prevalence of infections caused by hookworms and roundworms despite the wide range of preventative treatments on the market. This edition features new and revised material on arthropods, protozoans, helminths, antiparasitic drugs, diagnostic parasitology, and histopathological diagnosis.
Reviews
“New to the eighth edition is a table of scientific names and the roots from which they were derived. This table, listed on the inside front and back covers for easy access, should make it easier to learn the many scientific names encountered in the book. The book is packed with valuable information for veterinary practitioners engaged in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections and infestations. The book is a very readable and a useful reference, covering important parasites and diseases encountered in veterinary practice. Just as the title suggests, it presents the essential knowledge base of parasitology for veterinarians.” -Veterinary Pathology 42:2, 2005
