Manual of General Veterinary Parasitology
ABOUT THE BOOK: This manual
has been prepared as per the couse-curriculum approved by veterinary council of
India. The important topics covered in this manual include varous type of
parasites, hosts, vectors, different organs/tissues of hosts parasitized and
pathological lesions caused by the parasites. Futher this manual contains
importat information pertaiing to various parasitological techniques like faecal,
blood, urine, nasal and skin scraping examination, coprocultue, sporulaiton of
coccidian occysts. Also it has information regarding collection, fixation,
preservation, staining and mounting of parasites. The illustratios of important
intermediate hosts/vectors, types of life cycles of parasites, life-cycle
stages, and eggs of important parasites is an added attraction.
This manual will certainly help the students/readers in having practical
oriented information in clinical diagnosis of parasitic diseases in domestic
animals and birds.
