“Apart from this, it provides a concise and valuable reference for small animal clinicians and a support for students developing an interest in infectious diseases and parasites.”  (Veterinary Record, 25 May 2013)“This recently published book provides an excellent overview of all you need to know about dealing with “bugs”, from tiny (but deadly) viruses to tapeworms! . . . This book is also an excellent help for new graduates, who no doubt will appreciate the clear differential lists.”  (Vet Nurses Today, 1 October 2012)“The result is an in-depth at-a-glance reference highly recommended for any veterinary collection.”  (Midwest Book Review, 1 June 2012)
