Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, Seventh Edition
ASIN: 0813824192 |
Book Description
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 referencesInformation on new drugsImproved parasites of marine mammals sectionSections on laboratory animal parasites and human parasitesOver 500 photographs and figuresForeyt 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.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Reference.......2006-11-04
This literature is an excellent photographic reference of microscopic parasites. A failing is photos lack color.
Veterinary Parasitology: Refrence manual.......2006-03-23
This book is great, I use it for parasitology class every week. It has great identification pictures. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially vet techs.
For veterinarians and veterinary pathologists.......2006-03-16
Great book, covering much animal species with their specific parasites. Nice pictures.
Good but..........2005-12-28
This book is very helpful for fecal identification of most parasites. It does not help you with identification of larvae or adults. The book is also not in color which can be a factor when identifying the differences between some eggs. It also can have more than the necessary information (llamas, pigs, wildlife, humans). Overall a good reference to have on hand.
Foreyt.......2005-08-31
Very handy reference manual for egg identification, but would be even better if it contained pictures of larvae and adults.
Book Description
For veterinarians and veterinary technicians involved in the diagnosis of parasitism in animals, this book has become essential reading. As with the 6th edition, the 7th edition of Veterinary Clinical Parasitology has been prepared under the auspices of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP) and focuses on morphologic identification of parasites of domestic animals. The various techniques described provide an accurate and cost-effective means of diagnosing parasitic infections in animals. The 7th edition has been expanded significantly to include additional globally important parasites. Extra text material has been added for each parasite to indicate its distribution, life cycle, and importance, and the illustrations are now in color to aid diagnosis. "... enthusiastically recommended to veterinarians, veterinary students, and animal health technicians." JAVMA "... useful to practitioners and clinicians in carrying out routine and established parasitological examinations in their clinics and hospitals." Canadian Veterinary Journal
Customer Reviews:
Still the best!.......2007-09-15
Miss Reith is referring to the 6th edition not the 5th. The 5th edition is still the premier reference for any parasitology student. Unfortunately the 6th edition and later editions were edited, diluted and reformatted to become a nice fecal collector used to house train a pet. Useless is a kinder description. Find, buy any edition before the 6th!
Still an essential book for the practitioner.......2001-04-11
I was surprised at Dr.? Reith's review of this book. Contrary to what Reith affirms, the book IS divided into host sections, al least for the parasites diagnosed by fecal examination; actually, there are 28 pages and 55 photographs devoted to dogs and cats, 16 pages and 32 photographs devoted to ruminants, etc. Parasites of the urinary tract, genital tracts, or skin are in a separate chapter, as are blood parasites and arthropods. This does not bother me terribly. I wish Reith had mentioned the "very common parasites" that are not included; I have not missed any yet of the common ones in a veterinary practice. I have a fairly extensive collection of parasitology diagnosis books and, for the variety and/or quality of the photos, this is still the best. I only wish that some of the photos were in color but I am not sure I could afford it. I still recommend it very strongly to my students of Veterinary Parasitology and to veterinary practitioners.
Not nearly as useful for reference as the previous edition........1999-07-24
The features that made the 5th edition so helpful as a reference, like separating the book into sections according to the type of host (ie: dog, sheep, horse, rodent), and showing photos of the parasites that commonly are found in or on that host, have been removed. Additionally, some very common parasites are not even included in this 6th edition! Rather than a good reference book, it has now been reduced to somewhat of a primer on parasitology, one that introduces you to 'types' of parasites, rather than one that actually enables you to recognize characteristics of one parasite that distinguish it from another, similar parasite so that you can specifically identify it. This book is no longer useful, as the previous edition was, for reference work. I do not recommend it.

Book Description
The Biology of Nematodes synthesizes knowledge of the biology of free-living, plant-parasitic, and animal-parasitic nematodes. Contributed works by recognized researchers apply groundbreaking molecular techniques, many of which resulting from work on Caenorhabditis elegans, toward new approaches to the study of nematode worms. Topics covered include: systematics and phylogeny, neuromuscular physiology, locomotion, sense organs, behavior, aging, the nematode genome, survival strategies, immunology, epidemiology, structure and organization, gametes and fertilization, development, and feeding, digestion, and metabolism. This volume is valuable for research scientists working in agriculture, control, helminthology, immunology, medical and veterinary parasitology, molecular biology, nematology, plant pathology and zoology.
Book Description
The latest edition of this extensive text provides the most current information on all parasites commonly encountered in veterinary medicine. High-quality illustrations help readers identify and treat parasites of every kind. A discussion of dog and cat parasites examines the prevalence of infections caused by hookworms and roundworms despite the wide range of preventative treatments on the market. This edition features new and revised material on arthropods, protozoans, helminths, antiparasitic drugs, diagnostic parasitology, and histopathological diagnosis.

Georgis' Parasitology for Veterinarians.......2000-09-16
An excellent book - very comprehensive, organized both by phylogeny of parasitic organisms and by animal host. Includes a great chapter on therapeutics! Lots of great pictures, both of various stages of the parasitic organisms and lesions caused by clinical disease.

Book Description
Cowan and Steel’s Manual has for many years had an essential role in every laboratory of microbiology and bacteriology. This substantially revised new edition, which is modelled on the successful pattern established in the previous two editions, has been fully updated and is suitable for all bacteriological laboratories using traditional diagnostic methods. It is essentially a practical manual with up-to-date contributions and key references by experts to the diagnostic characteristics of the bacteria likely to be encountered in public health and hospital microbiology laboratories, as well as in medical and veterinary practice. This edition contains new sections on rapid and mechanised test methods, and on the laboratory applications of computer theory and practice to the identification of bacteria. As in previous editions, the importance of laboratory quality control and proficiency procedures are emphasised. The Appendices give details of the laboratory methods and media for all the recommended diagnostic tests and, in addition, provide abstracts of the official guidelines for bacterial nomenclature.
Customer Reviews:
Good!.......1997-06-19
My lab wouldn't exist without this book!
The flow diagrams make ID a breeze and they even include recipes for the media and reagents.
There are a couple of typos (+ that should be - for instance), and it does need up-dating (cmon editors!) but I'd warmly recommend this to any diagnostic Micro lab that isn't fully automated
Book Description
The most recent revision of this comprehensive text covers the bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogenic agents that are significant causes of animal disease. The focus includes pathogenic mechanisms and processes in infectious diseases; methods of diagnosis; and principles of resistance, prevention, and therapy.Veterinary Microbiology, Second Edition is now organized in four sections according to the most appropriate methods of instruction. Section 1 deals with the general characteristics of the host - parasite relationship, laboratory diagnosis of conditions involving an infectious etiology, antimicrobial treatment, and prevention of infectious disease.Sections 2 (bacteria and fungi) and 3 (viruses) present the infectious agents that affect the veterinary species. The chapters dealing with the bacterial agents are grouped mainly by morphology, and their gram-staining characteristics. The fungal agents are grouped mainly by morphologic characteristics (yeast, mold). The viruses are grouped along taxonomic grounds.Section 4, an enhancement new to this edition, deals with the infectious agents in the context of the host. This section is organized by organ system. Each organ system is discussed first as a microbial habitat, followed by discussion of those infectious agents that mainly affect that particular system.In addition to serving as a resource for veterinary students, Veterinary Microbiology, Second Edition also serves as a convenient reference for veterinarians and veterinary scientists whose main line of activity and expertise is outside the areas of microbiology.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent reference.......2007-05-24
This is a fantastic book with general information about bacteria, viruses, and fungi pathogenic to veterinary species. I use it almost daily, and own both editions (one for home and one for work).
