Atlas of Parasitological Diagnosis in Dogs and Cats. Volume 2

Updated descriptive atlas on the diagnosis of the main ectoparasitoses (insects and mites) in cats and dogs. It covers the most relevant aspects of each parasite, using visual resources to help identify them, and their involvement in human and animal health. The book is complemented with QR links to videos showing sample collection and processing and microscopic visualisation.

KEY FEATURES:
