About this title

Review:

"New to this updated edition are new approaches to teaching the science, detailed parasite descriptions and a new structure that lends to the reference's use in the clinic or in a classroom." (California Bookwatch 2016)

"anyone who works or has an interest in veterinary parasitology should consider having this resource at their disposal." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association 2016)

"This book makes a useful contribution to the veterinary parasitology literature and is a useful reference book. It should find a place in most vet school libraries and specialist referral clinics." (Veterinary Record 2016)

"Filled with discussions of costs, immunology, clinical signs and pathology, and good-quality color photos throughout, nothing currently on the market even begins to approach Veterinary Parasitoloy in thoroughness and coverage." (Donovan's literary services 2016)
"This is a well-written and well-organized book. It provides students, veterinarians, and scientists with an invaluable guide to understanding the characteristic features, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic helminths, protozoa, and arthropods of veterinary significance." (Doody Enterprises 2016)

"The 4th edition of Veterinary parasitology will be a useful addition to the libraries of veterinary? parasitology diagnostic and reference laboratories, veterinary parasitology research groups and to those teaching parasitology to veterinary students." (Australian Veterinary Journal 7 July 2017)
