Book Reviews of Veterinary Parasitology: Reference Manual
Book Review: An excellent addition to the veterinary literature
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 2001 fifth edition of a book first published in 1989. That alone tells you that veterinarians like it. To me, it is a rather surprising book. It is divided into 17 sections, the first devoted to methods of parasitological diagnosis, 14 devoted to parasites of every kind of mammals and birds (domestic, wild, and in-between) and reptiles, and 2 to artifacts and tables. The sections devoted to animals include clear drawings and excellent black and white photographs of the diagnostic elements for the common parasites (eggs, larva, spcimens, etc.), drawings of the life cycles, lists of the common antiparasitic drugs with dosis and indications, list of the zoonosis associated with the respective animal, and a very brief summary of the morphology, importance, diagnosis, treatment, and sometimes prevention of each parasite. For the abundance and quality of the photographs, one tends to consider this books as a diagnosis manual, but it is much more. It becomes closer to an encyclopedia of important practical issues of veterinary parasitology, condensed into 235 pages, at a ridiculous low price. Whom is useful for? Certainly for the veterinarian who wants to identify a parasitic infection but also for someone who needs to remember the latests treatment or some forgotten detail of a parasitic infection. I suspect that it should be quite welcome by the veterinary student who pays due attention to the lectures and then wants a condensed summary of the important points. A surprising book but very good and useful indeed
