"Veterinary Entomology and Acarology” provides a systematic comprehension of the arthropods of veterinary importance. It covers detailed morphology, life cycle, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment, management and control of arthropods related to animals. Authors made an effort to simplify the complexity of veterinary entomology and acarology by incorporating the most important details about arthropods in bullet points. The book includes labelled line diagrams of arthropods showing important morphological identification characters. The authors tried to tackle the topics of current demands like integrated pest management and acaricide resistance also in the book.
