It covers identification, enumeration, and treatment strategies for five separate categories of animal patients.\n\n\u003ci\u003eLarge Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates, in detail, the most sensitive diagnostic procedure for internal parasites of domestic animals using the Modified Wisconsin Sugar Flotation Method. With step-by-step pictures and bullet-point instructions, this text discusses sample collection and storage techniques, as well as the strengths and weaknesses inherent to other commonly used tests. Potential sources for infection, the seasonality of the infection, possible environmental recontamination, and control strategies are all covered in detail, with suggestions to prevent reoccurrences.\n\nParasites of the equine, large and small ruminants (including alpaca), swine, poultry, and hoofed wildlife patients are included, with full-colour images for quick identification, an assessment of life cycle stage, and discussion of zoonotic potential. Each species section is heavily illustrated with comparative images to aid the technician in quickly identifying the parasite and life cycle stage.\n\nIn \u003ci\u003eLarge Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians\u003c\/i\u003e, readers can find information on:\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe definition and economic importance of parasitisms, details on the epidemiology of parasitic enteritis, including basics of protozoology, helminthology, and overall applied veterinary parasitology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSample collection and shipment of specimens, including collection, storage, examinations, and interpretations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFecal examination using the Modified Wisconsin Sugar Flotation method, compared with gross examination, smear, sedimentation, and other flotation techniques, plus a fluke egg recovery technique and the Baermann technique for lungworm larvae recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal parasite diagnosis and worm egg recoveries, descriptions and pictures of nematode parasite eggs (as well as coccidia oocysts), plus tapeworm eggs and fluke egg descriptions and photos for a variety of host animals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\nIllustrating commonly used diagnostic tests in veterinary parasitology, with step-by-step instructions for accuracy, \u003ci\u003eLarge Animal Parasitology Procedures for Veterinary Technicians\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for veterinary technicians and veterinary technician students dealing with domestic animals, including horses, ruminants, swine, poultry, and hoofed wildlife.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854634045676,"sku":"9780470959022","price":190.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780470959022.jpg?v=1759250230"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/donald-h-bliss.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
