More About This Book

Overview

Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, Eighth Edition, prepared under the auspices of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), emphasizes the morphologic identification of both internal and external parasites of domestic animals. Focusing on the tests and information most relevant to daily practice, the book describes accurate, cost-effective techniques for diagnosing parasitic infections in animals. Including clear, easy-to-find information on the distribution, life cycle, and importance of each parasite, Veterinary Clinical Parasitology offers more than 450 images to aid with diagnosis.

The Eighth Edition includes a new chapter on immunologic and molecular diagnosis, increased coverage of ticks and new sections on identification of microfilariae and larvae in diagnostic samples. The new edition also features expanded information on quantitative egg counts, detection of anthelmintic resistance and identification of ruminant strongylid larvae.  Additional improvements include many new images throughout the book, revised taxonomic information, and a new layout featuring tabs by section to improve user-friendliness.  Veterinary Clinical Parasitology is a highly practical benchside reference invaluable to clinicians, technicians, and students.

Purpose: The purpose is to provide practical information for those involved in diagnosing parasites in veterinary medicine.
Audience: According to the authors, the book is written for practicing diagnosticians, but it also is suitable for students and others involved in diagnosing veterinary parasites.
Features: This book covers a broad spectrum of parasites found in veterinary medicine, including both endo- and ectoparasites of domestic animals. This edition includes an additional chapter describing immunologic and molecular techniques currently available in the U.S. For each parasite, the book details the taxonomy, geographic distribution, location in host, life cycle, laboratory diagnosis, and clinical importance. The presentation is practical and includes excellent color photographs.
