Ideal for both practitioners and students, this comprehensive
resource covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of
infectious disease in horses. Organized by infectious agent -
virus, bacterial and rickettsial, protazoal, and fungal - it
includes complete coverage of the individual diseases caused by
each type of agent. A section on clinical problems examines
conditions such as ocular infections, CNS infections, and skin
infections. It also addresses the importance of preventing and
controlling infectious disease outbreaks with coverage of
epidemiology, biosecurity, antimicrobial therapy, and recognizing
foreign equine diseases. Public health considerations presented in
nearly every chapter discuss zoonotic disease potential and
precautions, as well as other public health concerns. Appendix of
