Full Description
This volume comprehensively illustrates all major helminth parasites of veterinary importance using more than 900 spectacular color photographs of exceptional quality and clarity. No comparable atlas or publication of helminth parasites and their effect on the host animal exists. It demonstrates the life cycle stages, clinical conditions, diagnostic measures, fecal examination techniques, pathology and epidemiology relevant to helminths of domestic and companion animals.
