Product Description
Veterinary Clinical Epidemiologyserves as both a teaching resource and a reference on the application of epidemiologic methods in veterinary clinical research. The new edition of this successful book continues its focus on observations of naturally or spontaneously occurring diseases. This well-illustrated text includes discussion of applications of epidemiology in medical decision making at the individual and herd levels, details relevance of epidemiology to companion animal, food animal, and population medicine, and describes applications of molecular diagnostic tools and advanced statistical techniques. It includes many case studies and examples from veterinary literature.

Emily R. Wheeler
As far as statistics-based books go, this one is a fair read and does an excellent job of placing the student squarely in the middle of the elements of epidemiology that are important to a budding veterinarian. Well organized and a careful balance of theory and practical knowledge this book is not really intended to teach you how to be a practicing epidemiologist. If that is your hope, then certainly there are texts for that. It was written very specifically to give budding veterinarians a working knowledge of statistics, epidemiological thinking and disease control concepts important to veterinary practice. If you want to be able to crunch numbers and solve problems by hand, this may not necessarily be the text for you - those books are certainly out there. But if you like statistics written with a philosophical leaning and an emphasis on understanding of the place of epidemiology in veterinary medicine, this is a great place to start - its short compared to many epi texts and serves its intended purpose quite well.
Yeah, and Dr. Smith really is a super nice guy too.
