Description

A clinician and a pathologist collaborate to create a comprehensive yet practical book about established infectious diseases of horses, categorised according to the different pathogens. This ebook evaluates the latest diagnostic aids, including rapid developments in molecular biology, while emphasising that they are no substitute for clinical observation and skills. The majority of equine infectious diseases caused by microbes and parasites are covered – bacterial, viral, protozoan, fungal, ectoparasitic and helminthic. Appendices contain a list of differential diagnoses based on clinical signs to support clinical decision-making, a list of zoonoses and reportable diseases, and an elaborate illustrated appendix on clinical pathology and haematology.Thoroughly updated, Infectious Diseases of the Horse: Diagnosis, Pathology, Management, and Public Health, 2nd edition continues to be concise and easy to understand and remains an important resource for uncommon conditions.

This is an excellent review of infectious diseases in horses which occur worldwide. … The colour plates are stunning and really add to the text. … The chapters are very easy to follow so that this makes an ideal reference book for veterinary practitioners as well as veterinary students. … It is a must for all equine practice libraries and it is extremely well referenced so it will be well used in veterinary college libraries. … I strongly recommend its purchase.

A useful overview … often well illustrated with colour photographs, and these photographs are a real strength of the ebook.

The first thing that strikes you as you browse through this book are the amazing colour plates of clinical disease … extremely useful to the equine clinician, but would also be of great interest as a reference for students, as well as interns and residents in equine medicine and pathology…

This book is clear and concise, and very easy to understand. The simple format allows easy access to each disease and the images are brilliant, and gory, and delightful! My personal favourite section is the Appendices: I love the differential diagnosis segment, allowing an easy reference for both students and clinicians without having to go through every disease to find a certain set of clinical signs.
