Infos

Microbiology is one of the core subjects for veterinary students,
and since its first publication in 2002, Veterinary Microbiology
and Microbial Disease has become an essential text for students of
veterinary medicine. Fully revised and expanded, this new edition
updates the subject for pre-clinical and clinical veterinary
students in a comprehensive manner. Individual sections deal with
bacteriology, mycology and virology. Written by an academic team
with many years of teaching experience, the book provides concise
descriptions of groups of microorganisms and the diseases which
they cause. Microbial pathogens are discussed in separate chapters
which provide information on the more important features of each
microorganism and its role in the pathogenesis of diseases of
animals. The international and public health significance of these
pathogens are reviewed comprehensively. The final section is
concerned with the host and is organized according to the body
system affected.

Tables, boxes and flow diagrams provide information in an easily
assimilated format. This edition contains new chapters on molecular
diagnostics and on infectious conditions of the skin,
cardiovascular system, urinary tract and musculoskeletal system.
Many new colour diagrams are incorporated into this edition and
each chapter has been updated.

Rezensionen

"Overall I would recommend this book highly - the
tow strongest points are the absolutely brilliant organisation and
the very high quality of illustration. The information is
thorough without being intimidating, and well explained without
being patronising." (Veterinary Practice, 1
November 2013)

"Regardless of one's approach to teaching of
veterinary infectious diseases, this book should be an excellent
instructional tool. Although intended for students in
veterinary microbiology, it is extremely comprehensive and has
sufficient scope and depth to be used by graduate students as
well." (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical
Association, 15 June 2012)

"Overall, this is a well-written, logically organized,
informative, and valuable resource, which covers both the
laboratory aspects and clinical features of veterinary microbial
diseases. Both the first and last sections are unique to most
microbiology book. This second edition has made substantial
improvements over the first edition."
(Doody's, 13 April 2012)

"The new edition of 'Veterinary Microbiology and
Microbial Disease' is an absolutely first-rate textbook of
veterinary microbiology ... When a second-year veterinary
student referred to Quinn and others as the 'bright-coloured
book', demonstrating to me that we already had it in the
library and that students were using it, I could breathe a sigh of
relief that they were in safe hands with this superb
book." (Veterinary Record, 24 March 2012)
