Gastrointestinal Parasites

Gastrointestinal Parasites is authored by Elias Papadopoulos, a leading European specialist in veterinary parasitology. The book is designed for field and laboratory use, presented in a durable spiral-ringed format that contains 86 pages of high-density clinical information. The text prioritizes the practical identification of protozoa, helminths (including nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes), and arthropods. A central feature of the guide is its collection of over 300 high-quality illustrations and clinical photographs. These visuals document the life cycles of parasites, the anatomical systems they infect, and the primary pathological lesions they cause. The handbook also provides identification keys to distinguish between morphologically similar species and summarizes the clinical signs associated with varying infection levels. Dedicated chapters cover standardized laboratory diagnostic methods—such as fecal and pasture examination—and current pharmacological protocols for antiparasitic treatment, including guidance on managing anthelmintic resistance.
