This text is a great introduction for veterinary technicians who need pertinent information about pathology and parasitology, laying the groundwork for further study and practice. Clear-cut descriptions, case studies and methodologies prepare technicians well for what they will experience in the practical setting. Students will gain a thorough understanding of technical procedures, parasite life cycles, zoonotic potential, and diagnosis and treatment. Key words and chapter objectives give them a sense for what should be gleaned from each chapter, and practical case studies and evaluation questions enable them to apply what is learned. Extensive color images on the accompanying CD-ROM Image Library provide a detailed look at parasites and various pathologies.
