Manual of Parasitic Infections of Domestic Animals

Description

An organism that lives on or inside a host organism and obtains its sustenance from or at the expense of the host is considered a parasite. Numerous species of the two-winged Order Diptera, including mosquitoes, horse-flies, blowflies, and warbleflies, spread pathogens and directly cause parasitic disorders in domestic animals. The financial implications of these diseases are substantial in the livestock business, and these infestations and infections affect companion animals. All facilities that raise domestic animals experience these issues. This book features many illustrations and discusses domestic animal parasites from a biological standpoint. It also discusses the evolution and ecology of parasites. It mixes the traditional descriptive biology of parasites with contemporary cell and molecular biology methodologies. This textbook concentrates on the most significant parasites that afflict cats, dogs, horses, pigs, ruminants, and other domestic animals. The book briefly overviews each parasite, including its distribution, epidemiology, life cycle, morphology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and therapeutic approaches. The most crucial characteristics of parasites, the illnesses they cause, and the most recent knowledge regarding effective preventative and control strategies are all presented in a variety of educational tables and schemes. The book is a good choice for veterinarians, veterinary and life science students, veterinarian nurses, laboratory workers, and owners of pets and animals as a textbook and reference work.
