This is the only up-to-date book available written specifically for practitioners and students of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and applied animal sciences. Such a unique volume is essential because in veterinary parasitology, ectoparasites such as the lice, mites, ticks, fleas or dipteran agents of myiasis assume far greater prominence than in other parasitological disciplines. Ectoparasite infestation of domestic and companion animals, therefore, has overt clinical features requiring a distinct approach to diagnosis and control. This book has been written with this in mind. The text takes a unique integrated approach combining both ectoparasite biology and veterinary dermatology.
In the second edition of this successful book (previously, entitled Veterinary Parasitology), the detailed coverage of individual ectoparasite species has been expanded. Up-to-date information of new veterinary drugs and modes of application has been included and the practical clinical relevance of the information has been strengthened.

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. Each group of ectoparasites is given its own chapter with easy-to-follow guides to identification, together with details of their life-history, morphology and pathology.
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.
