- W2301866644 abstract "In the past, clinically relevant information on infectious and parasitic diseases of dogs and cats has generally been published in separate books. Finally a book that brings these 2 areas together! As with other 5-minute Veterinary Consults, the text is written in a quick reference format for veterinary clinicians and students, and assumes the reader has a fundamental knowledge of the pathogens. The book contains 105 chapters on individual diseases that are arranged alphabetically from Amebiasis to Whipworms, and typically are 3–5 pages in length.The authors indicate that the book is designed to help clinicians recognize infectious and parasitic diseases that are common in North America, and as such, there is comprehensive coverage. In addition, a number of uncommon diseases are included that are usually associated with travel outside North America (e.g., leishmaniasis) — it is a little unclear why diseases such as plague, pseudorabies, Q fever and trichinosis are included, while topics such as Alaria are not! A series of appendices provide succinct information on core vaccination schedules, parasiticides for dogs and cats, and a comprehensive drug formulary that was extracted from The 5-minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline, 3rd edition. It should be noted that drug information is written for an American audience.Each chapter is written in an attractive, easy-to-read, bulleted style, and subdivided into the following sections: Definition/Overview, Etiology/Pathogenesis, Signalment/History, Clinical Features, Differential Diagnosis, Diagnostics, Therapeutics (including vaccination options), and Comments (e.g., zoonotic potential). A useful short list of suggested readings is also provided at the end of each chapter. The text is clearly designed to help clinicians identify appropriate diagnostic tests and, as such, key diagnostic features, where applicable, are highlighted in blue text. In addition, recommended drug dosages, including off-label recommendations, are readily accessible within each chapter as a user-friendly table — information on drug interactions/precautions is given immediately adjacent to each table and is especially helpful.Many of the chapters are adapted from the Infectious Disease Section of The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline, 3rd edition. Several chapters are also included from The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult Clinical Companion: Small Animal Dermatology. In contrast, most of the parasitology chapters are unique to the book. Where appropriate, the chapters contain good, clear pictures of clinical cases. In addition, most chapters contain images of diagnostic utility. Unfortunately, a number of the bacteria, parasite, and clinical pathology images are of poor quality and/or lack important diagnostic information. In addition, some images are incorrectly labelled — e.g., Figure 72.2 (“Physaloptera”; p. 391) is the same as Figure 71.1 (“Ollulanus”; p. 397) except that it has been rotated 90°. While much of the content is of high quality, editing issues or incorrect information are a problem in quite a number of places — e.g., Sentinel and Interceptor are incorrectly recommended for tick control (p. 442); the tick activity of Frontline is not mentioned (p. 558); information about treatment and prevention of roundworms in dogs/cats is confusing and inconsistent with recommendations of the Companion Animal Parasite Council (pp. 450–453). It is also unclear why there is no mention of Dipetalonema reconditum in the chapter on canine heartworm. Finally, while information in some chapters has been updated from earlier texts, this is not always the case; for example, no mention is made of mild Cytauxzoon infections in cats, nitenpyram (Capstar), or the availability and problems with PCR diagnostic tests for feline immunodeficiency virus.In summary, despite the aforementioned issues, this book is generally a good, quick reference for information on both infectious and parasitic diseases of dogs and cats. It should be recognized that the text on infectious diseases is largely a repackaged version of earlier texts. Furthermore, the entire book typically does not contain information that is less than 3–5 years old. However, in light of the color format and bulleted succinct text, clinicians will find this book much easier to read, and the information it contains more readily accessible, than The 5-Minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline, 3rd edition. The inclusion of many diagnostic images has greatly enhanced the diagnostic utility of the book." @default.
