Gain the knowledge you need to Identify and understand animal
parasites! Diagnostic Parasitology for Veterinary Technicians, 6th
Edition features clear and concise discussions of the most commonly
encountered internal and external parasites. Chapters are organized
by parasite group - including nematodes, cestodes, trematodes,
protozoans, arthropods, and leeches - and include a detailed
description of the group, with special emphasis on morphology, life
cycle, and important parasites. Then in each chapter, material is
conveniently organized by host species: dogs, cats, horses,
ruminants, swine, birds, lab animals, fish, and reptiles. Written
by educators Charles M. Hendrix and Ed Robinson, this full-color,
spiral-bound book provides the skills that veterinary technicians
need to collect samples, perform lab procedures, and communicate
with clients. More than 300 full-color photos help you learn to
recognize parasites and parasitic diseases in lab samples. Logical
organization of chapters begins with an overview of external
parasites, internal parasites, and nematodes, followed by chapters
that go into detail of the parasites by host species. Step-by-step
guidelines are provided for gathering samples and performing lab
procedures, with clear instructions about how to perform the
different laboratory techniques used in identifying parasites.
Emphasis on life cycles along with high-quality life cycle drawings
help you learn to communicate prevention and control strategies to
clients. Case studies provide the opportunity to apply what you
have learned. Review tools ensure that you master parasitology with
all-new multiple-choice questions and VTNE prep questions, as well

the end of each chapter. Technician's Note boxes call out important
points for vet techs to remember. Coverage of exotics includes
