"Color Atlas of Equine Pathology "offers a practical guide to
identifying equine diseases, presenting a single resource with more
than 1000 images showing predominantly gross pathology. Organized
by body systems, the book allows for picture matching during or
after an equine necropsy. In this user-friendly atlas, each chapter
takes a common format, presenting the disease process as well as
congenital, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic sequences,
with text boxes offering quick reference to key information.
The book begins with an introductory chapter summarizing the
principles of the equine field necropsy, and subsequent organ-based
chapters depict gross features of disease, focusing on macroscopic
digital images supplemented by histology and immunohistochemistry
when necessary. Some clinical information for correlation with
pathology is included. "Color Atlas" "of Equine Pathology "is an
essential resource for diagnostic veterinary pathologists and
pathology residents, as well as for equine practitioners performing
necropsies in the field.
