Veterinary Parasitology is widely considered to be the definitive veterinary parasitology reference for practitioners and students alike. The 4th Edition has been developed and enhanced into a two-part reference to reflect recent advances in the field, modern teaching practice, and updated parasite taxonomic classification systems.
Greatly expands and revises the systematic sections on helminthology, protozoology and entomology, and descriptions of animal parasites
Tailored for those directly involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitic diseases of domestic animals
Compatible with the diversity of current parasitology teaching modules—both for teaching parasite systematics and diseases on a host-organ basis
Offers the most detailed parasite descriptions available today for teachers, research groups, veterinarians in practice and in government service, and others involved in aspects of parasitic disease
