Understanding parasite biology and impact is essential when giving
advice on parasite control in farm animals. In the first review
devoted to parasites of domestic cattle and sheep alone, this book
provides in-depth, focused advice which can be tailored to
individual farms. It considers the impact of parasites, both as
individual species and as co-infections, as well as epidemiological
information, monitoring, and diagnostic procedures. Supported
throughout by diagrams and photos to aid diagnosis, it also reviews
the basis for control measures such as the responsible use of
parasiticides, adaptive animal husbandry and other management
practices. This book: Focuses on common parasites of domestic sheep
and cattle; Places emphasis on understanding host responses and
epidemiology so that the impact and seasonality of parasitism can
be incorporated into advice and decision making; Highlights the
fundamental importance of the individual farm and farmer in
assessing endemic parasitism and tailoring control options
accordingly; Provides a comprehensive reference listing, including
important historical citations, to underpin the content. An
important resource for students, veterinarians and researchers of
farm animal health, this book maintains a focus on ruminant
parasitology in order to deliver evidence-based advice and also
context for the application of basic research.
