Infos

Color Atlas of Equine Pathology offers a practical guide
to identifying equine diseases, presenting a single resource with
more than 1000 images showing predominantly gross pathology.
Organized by body systems, the book allows for picture matching
during or after an equine necropsy. In this user-friendly atlas,
each chapter takes a common format, presenting the disease process
as well as congenital, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic
sequences, with text boxes offering quick reference to key
information.

The book begins with an introductory chapter summarizing the
principles of the equine field necropsy, and subsequent organ-based
chapters depict gross features of disease, focusing on macroscopic
digital images supplemented by histology and immunohistochemistry
when necessary. Some clinical information for correlation
with pathology is included. Color Atlas of Equine
Pathology is an essential resource for diagnostic veterinary
pathologists and pathology residents, as well as for equine
practitioners performing necropsies in the field.

Rezensionen

"The book is an excellent reference for students and
clinicians. The authors are to be congratulated on amassing and
sharing their collection of photographs."
(Australian Veterinary Journal, 26 September 2014)

"That does not detract from the basic value of this atlas,
which is well worth the price and will be of value to pathologists,
pathology residents, and clinicians involved in equine disease
investigations as well as to anyone performing postmortem
examinations of horses." (Journal of the American
Veterinary Medical Association, 15 June 2014)

"Clinicians who perform numerous field postmortem
examinations are most likely to find it a particularly useful
text. Similarly, this book will provide a sound reference
manual for new graduates, interns and residents in equine medicine
and pathology." (Veterinary Record, 22
March 2014)
