After a first volume on the physiology of parasites, their life cycle and the clinical signs they cause, this new volume focuses on how parasitic diseases can be diagnosed, treated and prevented, with a special emphasis on those aspects on which pet owners can have an influence. In addition to including a classification of parasitic diseases according the organ systems they affect, this new atlas includes a part on parasites in exotic animals and also describes the most important zoonoses transmitted by cats and dogs.
