Microbial and Parasitic Diseases of the Dog and Cat

A practitioner-oriented guide to the infectious diseases of small animals, emphasizing clinical recognition, diagnosis, treatment, control and prevention.

Each chapter covers a body/organ system and includes comments on the anatomical and physical features that may be altered by the activity of mechanisms particular to that system.

Diseases are discussed within the chapter covering the organ system that they usually, or principally, affect, and non -infectious diseases are mentioned when they may be confused with those caused by infectious agents.
