Atlas of Clinical Avian Hematology provides a fine guide to the hematological characteristics of birds, packing in color photos to assist in interpretation of hematological data and covering 100 species of birds. From how to collect and handle blood samples to peculiar hematological characteristics unique to birds, this is a 'must' for any avian vet's collection.

This lavishly illustrated text covers a range of topics from blood collection and handling, hematological characteristics of birds, pathological and physiological influences on avian hematology to a brief but useful foray into the world of avian hemoparasites.

Ambitious in its scope (covering over 100 species of birds from diverse Orders), it succeeds in defining many of the particular hematological characteristics of diverse bird lineages and yet still remains a concise and practical reference for use by avian clinical pathologists as well as avian clinicians in private, zoo and wildlife focused settings. Furthermore, biologists and ecologists investigating the health of free-ranging birds will find this book particularly useful. Its strength lies in its clear descriptive text, accompanied by a wealth of full-color photomicrographs.
