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.
