With an emphasis on the disease conditions of dogs, cats, horses, swine,
cattle and small ruminants, Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer's Pathology of
Domestic Animals, 6th Edition continues its long tradition of being
the most comprehensive reference book on common domestic mammal
pathology. Using a body systems approach, veterinary pathology experts
provide overviews of general system characteristics, reactions to
insult, and disease conditions that are broken down by type of
infectious or toxic insult affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each
body system. The sixth edition now boasts a new full-color design,
including more than 2,000 high-resolution images of normal and abnormal
organs, tissues, and cells. Updated content also includes evolved
coverage of disease agents such as the Schmallenberg virus, porcine
epidemic diarrhea virus, and the porcine deltacoronavirus; plus new
information on molecular-based testing, including polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, keep you abreast of the latest
diagnostic capabilities.
