Pathology serves as vital link between basic subjects such as anatomy, physiology and biochemistry on one hand and clinical subjects like gynaecology, medicine and surgery on the other. Many students of Veterinary Pathology face challenges in extensive and voluminous books on these subjects without the aid of photographs and illustrations. The aim of the book is to provide comprehensive textbook with diagrams and photographs of various pathological conditions to undergraduate and post graduate veterinary students. This book is divided into 10 chapters and contains salient features of macroscopic and microscopic observations. The text contains Systemic Pathology including Pathology of cutaneous system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, hemopoietic and immune system, urinary system, genital system, nervous system, endocrine system, eyes and ear. The text is described in a very simple format including developmental as well as acquired pathological conditions in different body systems of animals and birds including etiology, clinical manifestations, macroscopic and microscopic features along with diagnosis. This book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers, field veterinarians, zoo and wildlife veterinarians for better understanding of systemic disease conditions of animals and poultry. This book will also be helpful in writing of post mortem reports and describing the lesions.

Clinical Pathology and laboratory Diagnosis are often required to be in one location to assist veterinarians and disease investigation experts in their routine work. The development of rapid and specific diagnostic tools for various animal diseases is an important area of focus for clinicians. Traditional methods for diagnosing infectious diseases involve isolating, growing, and identifying the infectious agent from clinical samples, which requires well-equipped and well-staffed pathological laboratories. These methods can take days to weeks and may not provide an early diagnosis, which can be crucial for managing the disease. While isolation and identification of the microorganism can provide an unambiguous diagnosis, the success rate is limited. An alternative approach is to detect seroconversions to particular microorganisms, which can be diagnostically important. Enzyme immunoassay has become a popular tool for detecting humoral immune responses or microbial antigens for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, this book provides regulatory and safety requirements for the first time for veterinary disease investigation. Field veterinarians can use this information in their daily routine work to diagnose diseases, identify causative agents, and recommend effective therapeutic and preventive measures to control livestock and poultry diseases.

Avian Pathology is a comprehensive yet concise guide that bridges the gap between basic and clinical veterinary sciences, with a specific focus on avian species. Given that birds cannot verbally express their illness, the role of pathology becomes essential for accurate diagnosis and effective clinical decision-making.This book is designed for veterinary students, educators, and field veterinarians, offering a well-structured and accessible resource that supports both learning and practice. The subject matter is presented in a simplified and focused format, with particular consideration for India diverse geo-climatic conditions and its substantial poultry population.The text covers a wide range of important topics including:Avian inflammation and nutritional disordersPathology of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, chlamydial, spirochaetal, and mycoplasmal infectionsVices and miscellaneous disease conditionsEtiology, clinical signs, characteristic gross and microscopic lesions, and key diagnostic featuresBy emphasizing salient pathological features and minimizing overly detailed descriptions, the book offers clarity and practicality for readers. It is especially useful for those involved in field diagnosis, disease investigation, and post-mortem reporting in poultry.Avian Pathology serves as a vital resource for anyone involved in avian health care and disease management. It is expected to find a valued place within the academic and professional community of veterinary sciences.

The implementation of the new VCI course curriculum has led to a need for suitable literature for students of Pathology. Pathology serves as a vital link between basic subjects such as anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology on the one hand, and clinical subjects such as surgery, gynaecology, and medicine on the other. Many students of Veterinary Pathology have found it challenging to comprehend the extensive and voluminous books on these subjects without the aid of photographs and illustrations.The main objective of the Veterinary General Pathology and Oncology is to provide the second-year undergraduate veterinary students with a comprehensive textbook that includes diagrams and photographs. The book is divided into 11 chapters, in line with the new VCI syllabus, and contains salient features of macroscopic and microscopic observations. The text covers general pathology, including information on etiology, cell metabolism, growth, circulation, pigment metabolism, necrosis, concretions, inflammation, and immunopathological alterations. Oncology is also well-described, with illustrations on general aspects of cancer in animals, their specific features, diagnosis, and prognosis, including staging and grading. This book will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students in their studies, as well as teachers, field veterinarians, zoo and wildlife veterinarians, livestock and poultry breeders, and farmers, for a better understanding of animal and poultry disease conditions.
