Description
Ideal for both practitioners and students, this comprehensive resource covers the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious disease
in horses. Organized by infectious agent — virus, bacterial and rickettsial, protazoal, and fungal — it includes complete coverage of
the individual diseases caused by each type of agent. A section on clinical problems examines conditions such as ocular infections, CNS
infections, and skin infections. It also addresses the importance of preventing and controlling infectious disease outbreaks with coverage
of epidemiology, biosecurity, antimicrobial therapy, and recognizing foreign equine diseases.
