Product Description
For veterinarians and veterinary technicians involved in the diagnosis of parasitism in animals, this book has become essential reading. As with the 6th edition, the 7th edition of Veterinary Clinical Parasitology has been prepared under the auspices of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP) and focuses on morphologic identification of parasites of domestic animals. The various techniques described provide an accurate and cost-effective means of diagnosing parasitic infections in animals.
The 7th edition has been expanded significantly to include additional globally important parasites. Extra text material has been added for each parasite to indicate its distribution, life cycle, and importance, and the illustrations are now in color to aid diagnosis.
Key features:
* User-friendly layout for quick reference
* Includes over 400 color photographs
* Expanded parasite coverage
* Includes contributions from many AAVP members

 veterinary clinical parasitology seventh edition June 15, 2008
sky lynn deir (midvale, UT USA)
the book came some what handy, but I would have like more information than it gave. for example what drugs were used to treat the animals, or the difinative host and intermidiate host.
 Still the best! September 15, 2007
Mararichi (Havana, FL United States)
Miss Reith is referring to the 6th edition not the 5th. The 5th edition is still the premier reference for any parasitology student. Unfortunately the 6th edition and later editions were edited, diluted and reformatted to become a nice fecal collector used to house train a pet. Useless is a kinder description. Find, buy any edition before the 6th!
Still an essential book for the practitioner April 11, 2001

I was surprised at Dr.? Reith's review of this book. Contrary to what Reith affirms, the book IS divided into host sections, al least for the parasites diagnosed by fecal examination; actually, there are 28 pages and 55 photographs devoted to dogs and cats, 16 pages and 32 photographs devoted to ruminants, etc. Parasites of the urinary tract, genital tracts, or skin are in a separate chapter, as are blood parasites and arthropods. This does not bother me terribly. I wish Reith had mentioned the "very common parasites" that are not included; I have not missed any yet of the common ones in a veterinary practice. I have a fairly extensive collection of parasitology diagnosis books and, for the variety and/or quality of the photos, this is still the best. I only wish that some of the photos were in color but I am not sure I could afford it. I still recommend it very strongly to my students of Veterinary Parasitology and to veterinary practitioners.
 Not nearly as useful for reference as the previous edition. July 23, 1999

The features that made the 5th edition so helpful as a reference, like separating the book into sections according to the type of host (ie: dog, sheep, horse, rodent), and showing photos of the parasites that commonly are found in or on that host, have been removed. Additionally, some very common parasites are not even included in this 6th edition! Rather than a good reference book, it has now been reduced to somewhat of a primer on parasitology, one that introduces you to 'types' of parasites, rather than one that actually enables you to recognize characteristics of one parasite that distinguish it from another, similar parasite so that you can specifically identify it. This book is no longer useful, as the previous edition was, for reference work. I do not recommend it.
