Infectious Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles, Second Edition
provides definitive information on every aspect of the anatomy,
pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis of infectious diseases
affecting reptiles. It features stunning high-quality color photos
of normal anatomy and histology, as well as gross, light, and
electron microscopic images of infectious diseases of reptiles.
Editor Elliott Jacobson draws on his own photography collection,
and his wealth of experience spanning over 40 years in the research
of infectious diseases and veterinary care of reptiles. Already a
comprehensive reference, a new volume covering noninfectious
diseases of reptiles has now been added to create a two-volume set,
Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles. Beginning with a thorough
review of the biology, anatomy, and histology of reptiles, Volume 1
covers all major systems and provides the most complete single
source for color images of reptile histology, hematology, and
cytology. Volume 1 addresses the mechanism of reptile immunology
and the response to pathogens, and explains how immunological
response is key to differential diagnosis. It provides an overview
of electron microscopy, complete with electron micrographs of
reptile pathogens, and introduces the necessity of molecular
methods for diagnosis. Finally, this volume devotes several
chapters to the viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
known to reptiles, and methods for isolating these pathogens. With
up-to-the-minute data, an array of sharp and high-quality images,
and a panel of expert contributors, this new edition of Infectious
Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles is the definitive resource for
veterinary pathologists, zoo or wildlife veterinarians, and the
increasing number of private practice veterinarians seeing reptiles
kept as exotic pets. It is also ideal reading for veterinary
students specializing in exotics, candidates for ACZM
accreditation, and private breeders and hobbyists.
