Avian Pathology is a comprehensive yet concise guide that bridges the gap between basic and clinical veterinary sciences, with a specific focus on avian species. Given that birds cannot verbally express their illness, the role of pathology becomes essential for accurate diagnosis and effective clinical decision-making.

This book is designed for veterinary students, educators, and field veterinarians, offering a well-structured and accessible resource that supports both learning and practice. The subject matter is presented in a simplified and focused format, with particular consideration for India diverse geo-climatic conditions and its substantial poultry population.

The text covers a wide range of important topics including:

Avian inflammation and nutritional disorders
Pathology of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, chlamydial, spirochaetal, and mycoplasmal infections
Vices and miscellaneous disease conditions
Etiology, clinical signs, characteristic gross and microscopic lesions, and key diagnostic features
By emphasizing salient pathological features and minimizing overly detailed descriptions, the book offers clarity and practicality for readers. It is especially useful for those involved in field diagnosis, disease investigation, and post-mortem reporting in poultry.
Avian Pathology serves as a vital resource for anyone involved in avian health care and disease management. It is expected to find a valued place within the academic and professional community of veterinary sciences.
