• Sommario/riassunto: This comprehensive guide on veterinary parasitology, authored by Professors Domenico Otranto and Richard Wall, serves as an authoritative reference for understanding parasitic diseases in animals. The fifth edition covers a wide range of topics including the structure, function, and life cycles of various parasites such as nematodes, trematodes, protozoa, and arthropods. It also delves into laboratory diagnostic techniques, resistance to parasiticides, and alternative management approaches. The book provides detailed information on the epidemiology of parasitic diseases and their environmental impacts, along with clinical insights into the treatment of parasitic infections across different animal species such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and pigs. Aimed at veterinary professionals and students, this edition updates prior knowledge with the latest research and methodologies in parasitic disease management.
