Veterinary Parasitology: Refrence manual
This book is great, I use it for parasitology class every week.It has great identification pictures.I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially vet techs.

For veterinarians and veterinary pathologists
Great book, covering much animal species with their specific parasites. Nice pictures.

Good but...
This book is very helpful for fecal identification of most parasites.It does not help you with identification of larvae or adults.The book is also not in color which can be a factor when identifying the differences between some eggs.It also can have more than the necessary information (llamas, pigs, wildlife, humans).Overall a good reference to have on hand. ...

I just wish this book was longer! I learned a lot from such a small book.

Essential Knowledge for the True Reptile Lover
Consider yourself a true reptile lover?Then you should concerned about the well being of your pet.A healthy pet is a happy pet.Keep your pet well-fed and in good hygienic condition is essential.However, it is possible that the reptile may be suffering from parasites without our knowledge (such as through food).This book tells the pet lover what are the various parasites, what symptoms, what cures, etc.It is truly a good book on the topic. Everyone herp owner should buy 2 of these books!
And, at Amazon's price, you can afford to buy two of them--one for you and one for your vet!I did!My vet can't thank me enough, and now I don't have to loan him my book every time I want him to see my veiled chameleon.It would be great to live in a big city with vets that specialized in herps/reptiles; but here in the rest of the real world, there are furry pet vets on every corner who can give excellent medical care to your reptiles and amphibians using Dr. Klingenberg's book.Read more

Still an essential book for the practitioner
I was surprised at Dr.? Reith�s review of this book. Contrary to what Reith affirms, the book IS divided into host sections, al least for the parasites diagnosed by fecal examination; actually, there are 28 pages and 55 photographs devoted to dogs and cats, 16 pages and 32 photographs devoted to ruminants, etc. Parasites of the urinary tract, genital tracts, or skin are in a separate chapter, as are blood parasites and arthropods. This does not bother me terribly. I wish Reith had mentioned the "very common parasites" that are not included; I have not missed any yet of the common ones in a veterinary practice. I have a fairly extensive collection of parasitology diagnosis books and, for the variety and/or quality of the photos, this is still the best. I only wish that some of the photos were in color but I am not sure I could afford it. I still recommend it very strongly to my students of Veterinary Parasitology and to veterinary practitioners.

Not nearly as useful for reference as the previous edition.
The features that made the 5th edition so helpful as a reference, like separating the book into sections according to the type of host (ie: dog, sheep, horse, rodent), and showing photos of the parasites that commonlyare found in or on that host, have been removed.Additionally, some verycommon parasites are not even included in this 6th edition!Rather than agood reference book, it has now been reduced to somewhat of a primer onparasitology, one that introduces you to 'types' of parasites, rather thanone that actually enables you to recognize characteristics of one parasitethat distinguish it from another, similar parasite so that you canspecifically identify it. This book is no longer useful, as the previousedition was, for reference work. I do not recommend it. ... Read more

Student perspective
This book is an excellent companion for student and practitioner alike (although it is probably a little specialised for pet owners with no medical grounding ) . It is written in concise form , and has an excellentlayout for easy reference . One of its real strengths is its use ofpictures , which really illustrate written points beautifully . Thesections at the back also have tables and technique descriptions for thosemoments when rapid descisive answers are needed . In short , a superblywritten book that people have obviously put a lot of thought into . I amsure it will be a career long collegue for anyone who purchases it ! ... Read more

It is much more inclusive than the title suggests
I met the first edition 30 years ago in the U. of Illinois library, when I was in graduate school. Now, a full fledged medical and veterinary parasitologist, I had a second chance and . . . I just had to have it! Not because it was necessary to my work but because I remembered it as a jewel of a book. I hesitated a bit because the price was kind of steep for just a memento. Boy, but what a memento! The tight text and tiny letters are rarely interrupted by illustrations, and these are usually photographs; of only average quality, they are of exceptional content. It does not cover all the comon parasitic infections (the way they treat them, it would take an encyclopedia to do so!) but only the major ones. The survey of each infection, however, goes much farther than one would expect for a book on "wild mammals." It reviews (and references) a large part of the recent literature as it applies to any host; wild, domestic, or human. I found that it quickly gained a place among my favorite references. If you are interested in Parasitology at all, you MUST get it. You can�t afford to wait another 30 years for the next edition. ... Read more
