Description
The 5th edition of Jubb, Kennedy, and Palmer's Pathology of
Domestic Animals continues the long tradition of this classic set of
volumes as the most comprehensive reference book published on the topic
of pathology of the common domestic mammals, with emphasis on disease
conditions of cattle and small ruminants, swine, horses, dogs and cats.
Using a body systems approach, recognized authorities in their fields
provide overviews of general characteristics of the system, reactions
to insult, and disease conditions broken down by type of infectious or
toxic insult affecting the anatomical subdivisions of each body system.
Since the publication of the 4th edition in 1993, much has changed.
Disease agents, such as Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) type 2,
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), Porcine
circovirus 2, Hendra virus, and Leptospira spp., have emerged or
further evolved. Molecular-based testing, including polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) and in-situ hybridization, have allowed further
understanding of pathogenesis of disease, and have greatly furthered
our diagnostic capabilities.
