Veterinary Microbiology 

Veterinary Microbiology, Third Edition is a comprehensive
reference on the bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogenic agents
that cause animal disease. Now in full color with improved images
throughout, the new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect
information from current research and diagnostic and clinical
publications. Key changes include a review of microbial cell
structure and function and increased emphasis on the key points of
pathogenesis and host responses to infection.

Organized into four sections, the Third Edition begins with an
updated and expanded introductory section on infectious disease
pathogenesis, diagnosis and clinical management. The second section
covers bacterial and fungal pathogens, and the third section
describes viral diseases and viruses. The final section
presents a systematic approach of describing infection and disease
of animals. Equally useful for beginning veterinary students and
seasoned practitioners, Veterinary Microbiology offers a
thorough introduction and reference text for veterinary infectious
disease.
