Concise Review of Veterinary Microbiology

This book, following on from the authors' previous publication, Veterinary Microbiology and Microbial Disease, presents essential information on veterinary microbiology. Using a double-page format, detailed diagrams illustrate morphological, cultural and other features of pathogenic microorganisms, and comprehensive tables are included to explain the habitat, differentiation and role of microbial pathogens in disease production.

Key features:

• Introductory chapters explain the basis of microbial classification and describe terms used in subsequent chapters.
• Diagrams are used extensively to present important information relating to veterinary pathogens
• There are 33 chapters on bacteriology, 8 chapters dealing with mycology and 23 chapters on virology
• The pathogenesis of diseases produced by individual microorganisms or groups of microbial pathogens is reviewed
• Chapters on antibacterial agents and disinfection are included.

Using a double-page format, detailed diagrams illustrate morphological cultural and other features of pathogenic microorganisms, and comprehensive tables are included to explain the habitat, differtiation and role of micobial pathogens in disease production.
