This book presents practical information concerning parasites of dogs.  The book is quite detailed insofar as identification of parasites. It does cover parasites worldwide, but lacks the geographic maps that were shown in the feline edition (different authors). The book is condensed for easy reference, but the information concerning identification is much more detailed than one might expect in such a practical book. Scientific names are presented, followed by the common or "homespun" names used in lay reference.

The book is broken down into seven sections: Insects; Ticks and Mites; Protozoans; Trematodes; Tapeworms; Nematodes; Miscellany. Each section is broken down into Species, Life History, Injury to Host, Role as Vectors of Disease, and Hazard to Man. (Each species is then broken down to Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Treatment, Control.)

The book is liberally illustrated with photos, EM photos, and drawings. There is a center section of color illustrations, printed in this manner to save printing costs, but not detracting from the text. This book will greatly assist the veterinarian in communicating with the client. Definitely a keeper, this book should sit on the shelf directly next to the feline version.

Published by Lea and Febiger (2001).
