The book covers the collection, isolation, and culture of diagnostic specimens, with detailed notes on the biochemical, serological and other tests currently used to identify and distinguish between microbial pathogens. The new edition sets out to provide the most up-to-date account of all the clinically and economically important pathogens, including Bovine Spongiform Encephalomyeltis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, E-coli, and Salmonella. The clear, accessible format, together with the complete revision of the content, makes this a valuable resource."This book, co-written by five specialists provides a complete and up-to-date source of information for everything related to infection".

- High quality full colour photography - Essential for accurate diagnosis
- Fully revised pathogenicity sections taking into account the major discoveries/incidences of the last 3-5 years
- Reclassification of viruses, including changes to nomenclature
- Appendices of Infectious Diseases - Fast access to vital information
- Unique and practical inclusion of virology, bacteriology and mycology in one text
All veterinary medicine students are educated to understand the importance of micro-organisms in the health of the animals they treat. The area of microbiology – including general procedures, bacteriology, mycology and virology are taught, in stages, from the 3rd year onwards. Therefore, although the main market will be both small and large animal clinical practitioners, and specialist microbiologists in particular, the student and library markets are also very important .
