"Veterinary Parasitology Reference Manual, Fifth Edition "provides
easy access to pertinent information on parasite life cycles,
importance, location in host, zoonotic potential, current
literature, diagnosis, and treatment. Chapters are organized by
animal host species, including laboratory animals, humans, llamas,
ratites, dogs, cats, ruminants, horses, pigs, and birds, as well as
reptiles, wildlife, and marine animals, often missing from
veterinary parasitology textbooks, but of practical interest to
veterinarians.
The manual includes step-by-step instructions for the most
common diagnostic procedures used in routine veterinary
practice.
Features of the Fifth Edition include:
Updated and enhanced references
Information on new drugs
Improved parasites of marine mammals section
Sections on laboratory animal parasites and human parasites
Over 500 photographs and figures
Foreyt underscores the strong relationship between parasites and
the overall health of animals and stresses that indiscriminate use
of drugs is a poor substitute for good management and nutrition in
controlling parasites. The text also offers insights into the
evolving relationships between hosts and parasites.
Wildlife and zoo workers, veterinary practitioners, students,
and technicians will find this to be a readable and accurate
resource of information about parasites in a variety of
animals--wild, domestic, common and exotic.
