An excellent book – very comprehensive, organized both by phylogeny of parasitic organisms and by animal host. Includes a great chapter on therapeutics! Lots of great pictures, both of various stages of the parasitic organisms and lesions caused by clinical disease.

"New to the eighth edition is a table of scientific names and the roots from which they were derived. This table, listed on the inside front and back covers for easy access, should make it easier to learn the many scientific names encountered in the book. The book is packed with valuable information for veterinary practitioners engaged in the treatment and prevention of parasitic infections and infestations. The book is a very readable and a useful reference, covering important parasites and diseases encountered in veterinary practice. Just as the title suggests, it presents the essential knowledge base of parasitology for veterinarians."

Feline Panleukopenia Infection occurs when cats come in contact with the blood, urine, stool, nasal secretions, or even the fleas from infected cats. A cat can also become infected without ever coming in direct contact with an infected cat. Bedding, cages, food dishes and the hands or clothing of people who handle the infected cat may harbor the virus and transmit it to other cats. It is, therefore, very important to isolate infected cats. Any materials used on or for infected cats should not be used or allowed to come in contact with other cats, and people handling infected cats should practice proper hygiene to prevent spreading the infection.

The virus that causes Feline Panleukopenia is difficult to destroy and resistant to many disinfectants. At room temperatures, virus present in a cat’s environment can still infect other cats for up to one year. Ideally, unvaccinated cats should not be allowed into an area where an infected cat has been, even if the area has been disinfected. Pregnant female cats that are infected with the virus and become ill (even if they do not appear seriously ill) may give birth to kittens with severe brain damage. In most cases, if a cat recovers from Feline Panleukopenia, it will not infect other cats through direct contact.

A broad spectrum antibacterial for cattle. Indicated for the treatment of bovine respiratory complex, foot rot and calf diphtheria when sensitive to sulfadimethoxine.

Sulfadimethoxine is an antibiotic and also used to treat coccidial infections in many species. Sulfadimethoxine is an antibiotic of the sulfonamide class. As with other antibiotics, it is important that they inhibit or kill the infectious agent without injuring the host. In the case of the sulfas, the mechanism of action involves the essential nutrient known as Folic acid.

Sulfa drugs may have numerous uses but, in small animals, sulfadimethoxine is used almost exclusively for the treatment of intestinal parasites known as Coccidia. These parasites are single-celled organisms capable of causing intense diarrheas in their hosts.

It has been recommended that this medication not be used in patients with liver or kidney disease. Patients with known reactions against members of the sulfa class of antibiotics should not take this medication. This medication is not considered safe in pregnancy.

Sulfa drugs have numerous potential side effects and though they may be rare. The animal should be encouraged to drink a lot of water while being treated with sulfadimethoxine to prevent crystals from forming in the urine, the side effects look like redness of the eye, discharge from the eye, other symptoms related to the eye, bleeding tendencies, pale gums, diarrhea, vomiting, increased thirst, joint pain, or skin rashes while being treated with sulfadimethoxine.
