Recognize and treat the parasites seen in veterinary practice! Diagnostic Parasitology for Veterinary Technicians, 5th Edition features clear and concise discussions of the most commonly encountered internal and external parasites. Chapters are organized by parasite group ― including nematodes, cestodes, trematodes, protozoans, arthropods, and leeches ― and include a detailed description of the group, with special emphasis on morphology, life cycle, and important parasites. Then in each chapter, material is conveniently organized by host species: dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, swine, birds, lab animals, fish, and reptiles. Written by noted educators Charles Hendrix and Ed Robinson, this full-color, spiral-bound book provides the knowledge that veterinary technicians need to collect samples, perform lab procedures, and communicate with clients and other members of the veterinary team.

• Clear, concise coverage simplifies information on the most commonly encountered internal and external parasites, preparing you for credentialing exams and the veterinary clinic.
• More than 470 full-color photos show exactly what ova, adult parasites, and parasitic diseases look like, so you can identify them more easily when viewing lab samples.
• Step-by-step guidelines in the Laboratory Procedures chapter describe how to gather samples and how to perform the laboratory techniques used in identifying parasites.

**New edition of the market-leading benchtop reference on the diagnosis of internal and external parasites in animals, including expanded coverage of parasites of reptiles, birds, and other exotic species

** Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, 9th Edition, allows for a quick and accurate reference to internal and external parasites found in a wide variety of domestic animals and laboratory animal host species. Focusing on the tests and information most relevant to daily veterinary practice, this classic benchtop manual contains a wealth of high-quality images to assist readers in diagnosing parasitic disease and identifying and treating relevant parasites. Contributions by leading experts in veterinary pathobiology and parasitology cover fecal examination for the diagnosis of parasitism, detection of parasites in the blood, diagnosis of arthropod parasites, and more.

The latest edition contains fully revised material throughout, including new and expanded information on immunodiagnostic and molecular diagnostic tests, additional parasite-specific material on the benefits and limitations of different test modalities, and increased coverage of reptiles, birds, and other exotic and laboratory animals. New sections include up-to-date information on anthelmintics, antiprotozoals, and other antiparasitic drugs, and challenging case studies that provide insights on situations where identification of parasites is especially difficult. Published under the auspices of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), this indispensable clinical manual:

• Describes accurate and cost-effective techniques for diagnosiing parasitic infections in animals
• Presents clear and concise information on the distribution, life cycle, and significance of each parasite covered
• Contains hundreds of color clinical images to enable rapid picture-matching and aid in diagnosis
• Offers a spiral-bound format that allows the book to lie flat on the benchtop, ideal for regular use in daily practice
• Features revised content throughout, including new chapters and images, an improved format, an enhanced color scheme, and an updated companion website

Veterinary Clinical Parasitology, 9th Edition is an essential resource for practicing veterinarians, veterinary technicians, diagnosticians, researchers, and students in need of a timely and efficient reference on morphologic identification of parasites in different animal species.

Although many books have been published on various aspects of human, animal, and plant parasitology, as well as the public health problems associated with parasites, none to date has offered a comprehensive glossary for those confronted with the discipline's exceptionally extensive terminology. To meet this need requires a dedicated text that can h

Dieses Buch, geschrieben von Fachexperten auf dem Gebiet, fasst den aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft im Hinblick auf phänotypische und zielorientierte Ansätze der Entwicklung von Arzneistoffen gegen pathogene Protozoen zusammen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei vor allem auf virtuellen Substanzen und dem Hochdurchsatz-Screening, auf Naturprodukten, dem computergestützten Design von Arzneistoffen, dem strukturgestützten Design von Arzneistoffen, der Identifizierung von Wirkmechanismen und dem Pathway-Modelling. Weiterhin werden moderne "omik"-Technologien sowie enzymatische Drug Targets erörtert. Mathematische, auf der Systembiologie basierende Ansätze werden als neue Methoden für die Auflösung komplexer Mechanismen, die Pathogene überleben lassen, und für die Target-Identifizierung vorgestellt. Präsentiert werden darüber hinaus neu entwickelte Wirkstoffe, die über bestimmte Pathways Parasiten abtöten und als Leitsubstanzen für weitere Arzneimittelentwicklungen dienen.

This clinically oriented new volume in the Self-Assessment Colour Review series brings together a wide variety of cases and clinical situations which relate to diseases caused by parasitic agents primarily in small animals and domestic livestock. It also includes some cases involving some wild and exotic animals.

The cases are presented randomly, and illustrated in full color. Each case scenario includes key questions regarding diagnosis, treatment and control of the infection. Detailed explanatory answers are given on the following page.

The book offers an excellent resource for continuing professional development. It is of value to veterinary practitioners, animal health advisors, industry technical representatives, livestock producers and veterinary students.

Omics Approaches in Veterinary Parasitology: Diagnosis, Biomarkers, and Drug Development explores applications of omics approaches for diagnosis, biomarker discovery, and drug development against parasites of veterinary importance. It presents the fundamental principles of parasite biology and their complex physiological processes. The chapters review key aspects such as parasite life cycles, host-parasite interactions, and the molecular mechanisms that underlie parasitic diseases. The subsequent chapters delve into the principles and applications of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in understanding parasites at a molecular level. The use of next-generation sequencing, PCR-based assays, and metagenomics in identifying and characterizing parasites for accurate and efficient diagnosis are also covered in detail. Toward the end, the book focuses on target identification, drug repurposing, and the optimization of drug efficacy while minimizing drug resistance using omics data. The book is useful for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of veterinary parasitology.
