Synopsis: Peacocks can carry Ascaridia eggs while ducks and wild birds carry another ascarid genus. Mites can fool you because they are laterally compressed like fleas. Designed for desk reference but suitable for quick reviews and clinical practice, this guide focuses on morphologic identification of parasites in domestic animals, featuring accurate and cost-effective means of diagnosing parasitic infections. With over 400 color photographs and a layout ideal for field work, this covers the fecal examination for diagnosis, including collection, storage, shipment, exam procedures, use of the microscope, techniques for evaluation in grazing animals, identification of adult worms, and parasites of domestic animals. It also covers detection of protozoan and Helmith parasites in the urinary, reproductive and integumentary systems and in the eye, detection of parasites in the blood, diagnosis of arthropod parasites such as lice, fleas, flies, mites and ticks, and parasites of fish.
