Arthropod-borne Infectious Diseases of the Dog and CatMichael J. Day This book is an invaluable resource for information on the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of major arthropod-transmitted diseases of dogs and cats. Illustrated in colour throughout, the book incorporates photographs of clinical cases, haematology, cytology and gross and microscopic pathology, which help understand the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. The book goes beyond just covering the diseases themselves and also provides information on the arthropods that transmit them. With the effects of climate change and increasing international pet travel, this book will be a valuable addition to every small animal practitioner's library. |
