Livestock production systems and some husbandry practices are
prone to producing veterinary important entomological concerns. In
addition, various arthropod-borne diseases such as West Nile and
some types of encephalitis can affect both humans and animals. To
circumvent these problems successfully, a solid understanding of
veterinary entomology should be the foundation of comprehensive
animal-health programs and production management practices.
Veterinary Entomology: Livestock and Companion Animals is a
comprehensive guide to the recognition, biology, importance, and
control of insects and related arthropods that may be encountered
in animal husbandry practices and with companion animals. Unlike
similar books, this single-authored textbook is focused exclusively
on the veterinary aspects of entomology. In 15 highly readable
chapters, it addresses the details of livestock/companion animal
pest management within the current trends in pest management
techniques and available technology such as pest surveillance and
detection.
Richly illustrated with more than 200 figures and a four-page
color insert, the book discusses pertinent information on host-pest
relationships, pest control methodology, identification, and
biology of important pest groups, emphasizing those arthropods
specifically associated with livestock and poultry production
systems and those affecting companion animals.
Written by a leading entomological expert, this book includes
coverage of:
- Cattle
- Swine
- Sheep and goats
- Poultry
- Domestic pets
- Horses
Veterinary Entomology: Livestock and Companion Animals is an
excellent resource for all those involved with the handling and
research of livestock and companion animals, as well as students in
entomology, agriculture, and veterinary science.
