Ectoparasites are of growing significance in modern veterinary
medicine and a detailed understanding of the biology of these
parasites is fundamental to their appropriate treatment and
control. The authors of this book have therefore provided a
complete overview of the biology, and behaviour of arthropod
ectoparasites along with the pathology and treatment of diseases in
livestock and companion animals of temperate habitats.
This is the only up-to-date book available written specifically
for practitioners and students of veterinary medicine, animal
husbandry and applied animal sciences. Such a unique volume is
essential because in veterinary parasitology, ectoparasites such as
the lice, mites, ticks, fleas or dipteran agents of myiasis assume
far greater prominence than in other parasitological disciplines.
Ectoparasite infestation of domestic and companion animals,
therefore, has overt clinical features requiring a distinct
approach to diagnosis and control. This book has been written with
this in mind. The text takes a unique integrated approach combining
both ectoparasite biology and veterinary dermatology.
In the second edition of this successful book (previously,
entitled "Veterinary Parasitology"), the detailed coverage of
individual ectoparasite species has been expanded. Up-to-date
information of new veterinary drugs and modes of application has
been included and the practical clinical relevance of the
information has been strengthened.
