It delves into the multifaceted effects of parasites, both as individual species and in co-infections, as well as epidemiological information, monitoring, and diagnostic procedures. Throughout, diagrams and photographs aid in diagnosis, and the book also reviews the foundations of control measures such as the responsible use of parasiticides, adaptive animal husbandry, and other management practices.
