Long established as a
bestselling parasitology book for veterinary practitioners and
veterinary students, the previous edition lead by Urquhart was praised
as '...probably the best available veterinary parasitology text for the
practitioner' (Clinical Insight).
This third edition of Veterinary Parasitology is a major
update which builds on the spirit of earlier editions. New authors with a
wealth of experience of teaching and researching the subject have
thoroughly revised and restructured the book to reflect modern teaching
practice and the most up-to-date coverage of advances in this area.
- Arranged by host species and organ systems within the host, with
extensive cross-referencing to enable ease of access to information on
particular parasites.
- The core focus is on parasites of livestock and companion animals,
but new sections also cover parasites of poultry and gamebirds,
laboratory animals, exotic pets and 'farmed' species.
- Expanded sections on protozoa and ectoparasites, as well as coverage
of a larger selection of parasites of veterinary significance around
the world.
- The majority of parasitic diseases are now covered in detail using a
standardised format for each parasite to allow easy referencing and
identification and for comparison between species within a genus.
Suitable for veterinary students, as well as researchers of
veterinary parasitology, veterinarians in practice and in government
service and others who are involved in aspects of parasitic disease.
