Informationen zum Autor Richard Wall is professor of Zoology in the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Bristol. He specializes in the ecology, behavior, and evolution of arthropod parasites, pests and vectors. David Shearer is a Veterinary Surgeon who works as a diagnostic pathologist and a referral dermatologist in Norfolk. He has a particular interest in ectoparasites, dermatohistopathology, skin immunology and skin microbiology. Klappentext The diagnosis and treatment of ectoparasites plays an increasingly prominent role in the practice of veterinary medicine, necessitating a sound understanding of their biology and the pathology of infestation of domestic and companion animals. The book focuses on the arthropod ectoparasites of veterinary importance in temperate habitats, such as lice, mites, ticks, fleas or dipteran agents of myiasis. The authors have brought together a unique combination of parasitology, entomology, and veterinary dermatology. This new edition (previously called Veterinary Parasitology ) has expanded coverage of individual ectoparasite species as well as up-to-date drug, application and clinical information. The book opens with a detailed discussion of arthropod ectoparasites, their evolution and diversity, and their importance to veterinary medicine.
