Although there are books available dealing with canine
parasitology, there is at present no book detailing parasites that
offers clinical information specific to felines. Cats differ
significantly from dogs in their parasitic infections and
infestations. Although dogs and cats do share a few parasites, the
vast majority of the parasites of these pets are specific to either
cats or dogs, not to both.
This must-have reference offers an in-depth examination of
feline parasites. Topics covered include parasite identification,
history, geographic distribution, pathogeneisis, epidemiology,
zoonosis, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention. Because of
the immense worldwide popularity of cats and due to the amount of
travel undertaken by cats and their owners, the authors have
produced a book that is international in scope. Consequently, this
exhaustive reference has strong appeal to practitioners and
veterinary parasitologists in North America and around the
world.
