Greene's Infectious Diseases of the Dog and Cat, 5th Edition
provides a comprehensive, clinically useful reference on the
management of infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria
(including rickettsiae, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, and spirochetes),
fungi, algae, protozoa, parasites, and other atypical agents. Each
section guides the reader through diagnostic testing for specific
infectious diseases, from specimen collection to laboratory
submission to interpretation of results to appropriate treatment
measures. Full-color illustrations and hundreds of tables provide
convenient access to diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations,
along with the appropriate drug dosages for effective treatment and
prevention. A fully searchable enhanced eBook version is included
with print purchase, allowing access to all of the text and figures
on a variety of digital devices. More than 150 internationally
recognized experts contribute chapters on topics in their field of
specialty. Clear and logical organization of chapters provides a
solid basis for an approach to diseases caused by specific
pathogens, with the first part of the book including sections on
diagnostic approaches, treatments (including recommended
antimicrobial drug doses), and prevention. Specific pathogens are
addressed in the second part of the book, using a structured
approach that includes etiology/epidemiology (relevance to wildlife
animal hosts, role of the environment), clinical and laboratory
findings, treatment, prevention, and public health implications.
Case examples illustrate principles and highlight how the material
can be applied. More than 800 clinical images, maps, life cycles,
and photomicrographs assist with accurate understanding of
epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis of disease, and disease
prevention. Visually appealing maps and life-cycle drawings enhance
your comprehension and retention of the material. Convenient drug
dosage tables in each chapter provide complete prescribing
information; chapters on antimicrobial drugs in the first part of
the book summarize pharmacokinetics, indications,
contraindications, handling and administration guidelines; and
dosage recommendations are made for antivirals, antibacterials,
antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antiparasitic drugs. The book
emphasizes approaches to optimize antimicrobial stewardship.
Clinical Problems section helps you understand what infectious
diseases should be considered in animals seen with clinical signs
relating to different organ systems. Suggested readings and
references are listed in each chapter, facilitating further
research and study. Fully searchable enhanced eBook version is
included with print purchase, allowing access to all of the text
and figures on a variety of digital devices. NEW! Improved format
includes overarching information on diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention in the first part of the book, followed by specific
pathogens and clinical problems in the second and third parts of
the book, respectively. NEW! Parasite section includes coverage of
