1st Edition
Is a comprehensive resource that covers the pathology of wildlife and
zoo species, including a wide scope of animals, disease types and
geographic regions. It is the definitive book for students, biologists,
scientists, physicians, veterinary clinicians and pathologists working
with non-domestic species in a variety of settings. General chapters
include information on performing necropsies, proper techniques to meet
the specialized needs of forensic cases, laboratory diagnostics, and an
introduction into basic principles of comparative clinical pathology.
The taxon-based chapters provide information about disease in related
groups of animals and include descriptions of gross and histologic
lesions, pathogenesis and diagnostics. For each group of animals,
notable, unique gross and microscopic anatomical features are provided
to further assist the reader in deciding whether differences from the
domestic animal paradigm are "normal."
Additional online content, which
includes text, images, and whole scanned glass slides of selected
conditions, expands the published material resulting in a comprehensive
approach to the topic.- Presents a single resource for performing necropsies on a variety of taxa, including terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates
- Describes notable, unique gross and microscopic anatomical variations among species/taxa to assist in understanding normal features, in particular those that can be mistaken as being abnormal
- Provides consistent organization of chapters with descriptions of unique anatomic features, common non-infectious and infectious diseases following brief overviews of the taxonomic group
- Contains full-color, high quality illustrations of diseases
- Links to a large online library of scanned slides related to topics in the
