Chapters are organized by parasite group — including nematodes, cestodes, trematodes, protozoans, arthropods, and leeches — and include a detailed description of the group, with special emphasis on morphology, life cycle, and important parasites. Then in each chapter, material is conveniently organized by host species: dogs, cats, horses, ruminants, swine, birds, lab animals, fish, and reptiles. Written by noted educators Charles Hendrix and Ed Robinson, this full-color, spiral-bound book provides the knowledge that veterinary technicians need to collect samples, perform lab procedures, and communicate with clients and other members of the veterinary team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cli\u003eClear, concise coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e simplifies information on the most commonly encountered internal and external parasites, preparing you for credentialing exams and the veterinary clinic.\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMore than 470 full-color photos\u003c\/b\u003e show exactly what ova, adult parasites, and parasitic diseases look like, so you can identify them more easily when viewing lab samples. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStep-by-step guidelines\u003c\/b\u003e in the \u003ci\u003eLaboratory Procedures\u003c\/i\u003e chapter describe how to gather samples and how to perform the laboratory techniques used in identifying parasites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEmphasis on the zoonotic potential of parasites\u003c\/b\u003e helps you alert clients and other health care workers to the significance of zoonotic parasites and shows ways in which you can prevent transmission of a zoonotic parasite, condition, or syndrome from animals to humans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLogical chapter organization \u003c\/b\u003efollows the sequence of parasitology classes, beginning with a basic overview of external parasites, internal parasites, and nematodes, followed by chapters that go into detail of the parasites by host species.\u003cb\u003e An appendix\u003c\/b\u003e lists the parasites of each species and shows their location in the text, making information easy to find.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeartworm section\u003c\/b\u003e helps you recognize and treat heartworms with an in-depth discussion of the performance and interpretation of diagnostic tests for this major parasite\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSummary tables \u003c\/b\u003eshow how to categorize parasites, and include such categories as body systems affected, taxonomic grouping, host species, and location in host.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTable\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eof parasites\u003c\/b\u003e at the front of the book is arranged by host species and includes page numbers for cross-reference throughout the book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVet Tech Threads\u003c\/i\u003e design\u003c\/b\u003e makes learning easier with chapter outlines, chapter objectives, key terms, and \u003ci\u003eTechnician Notes\u003c\/i\u003e in every chapter\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChapter on terminology\u003c\/b\u003e familiarizes you with the basic language and classification scheme of parasitology for more effective communication with clients and colleagues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFlash cards\u003c\/b\u003e on the Evolve companion website help you learn and memorize key facts about the major parasites, including audio pronunciations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWorkbook\/textbook format \u003c\/b\u003eprovides immediate review tools through matching exercises and questions for thought and discussion at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Health Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076955390192,"sku":"9780323389815","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780323389815_p0.jpg?v=1763682897","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780323389815","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
