Infos

Prepared under the auspices of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, this second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to improve utility and readability. The book is now organized by vertebrate host species, with parasites presented phylogenetically within chapters. Additional highlights of this edition include introductory chapters on modern diagnostic techniques and parasite biology, and a new appendix features a complete drug formulary. The well-presented and extensively illustrated volume addresses all aspects of laboratory animal parasites. Regarded as the most comprehensive and authoritative work available on the topic, this book is an essential reference for veterinary parasitologists, clinicians, students and laboratory animal scientists.

Rezensionen

"Wait no more! After 35 years, the second edition of Flynn's Parasites of Laboratory Animals has finally arrived.... If you are looking for a well organized reference on parasites found in the research environment, then look no further. This is the most comprehensive, detailed, easy to use compilation available on the market. To collect the equivalent breadth, one would have to purchase many species-specific texts.... A detailed reference to be used to confirm preliminary results and enhance understanding of the impact of discovered infections. The articles are well written in an easy to read, direct, and succinct style... I recommend this text as a practical, user friendly yet extremely comprehensive reference book." Interface: Newsletter of the Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Medicine

"The similarity of organization of each host chapter makes it easy to develop a method to use this large text. The tables at the end of each host chapter present information based on the host organ system and help direct the reader to more detailed references for each parasite. The text was carefully edited to maintain the same style throughout the book by different contributors.... Although this is not a book to use as a quick guide or a clinical differential, it is a good investment as a comprehensive reference text if: 1) you have an interest in parasitology, especially of laboratory animal species; 2) you are dealing with a commercial operation, such as a producer or distributor of any of these species; 3) you are a practitioner who sees these species on a fairly regular basis as pets."
