Veterinary Clinical Parasitology

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, serves as a quick and accurate reference for internal and external parasites found in a wide variety of domestic animals and laboratory animal host species. This classic benchtop manual focuses on tests and information most relevant to daily veterinary practice, offering a wealth of high-quality images to assist readers in diagnosing parasitic disease and identifying and treating relevant parasites. Contributions from leading experts in veterinary pathobiology and parasitology include topics such as fecal examination for the diagnosis of parasitism, detection of parasites in the blood, diagnosis of arthropod parasites, and more.

The latest edition has been fully revised, incorporating 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 provide up-to-date information on anthelmintics, antiprotozoals, and other antiparasitic drugs, alongside challenging case studies offering insights on situations where parasite identification 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 colour 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 colour scheme, and an updated companion website

Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, 9th Edition, is an essential resource for practising veterinarians, veterinary technicians, diagnosticians, researchers, and students in need of a timely and efficient reference on the morphologic identification of parasites across various animal species.
