This is the first in a series of volumes dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of reptilian parasites and is the first attempt to summarize all contemporary knowledge about protozoa in one place. Information is presented in annotated outline form for quick reference. Chapters are divided by phyla and include descriptions of the most recently recognized parasitic protozoa of reptiles; their hosts, host locations, and modes of transmission are given, as well as their life cycles when known. The text also includes a chapter on laboratory procedures for the herpetoculturist and a bibliography of approximately 250 references.

A Veterinary Guide to the Parasites of Reptiles: Vol 2 Arthropds excluding mites,
This review is from: A Veterinary Guide to the Parasites of Reptiles, Vol. 2: Arthropods (Excluding Mites) (Hardcover)
Good scientific reference. A few more pictures and diagrams would always help, but still very useful for identification. The chapter on Ticks (Ixodoidea) is excellent. The summary tables of parasiticides (appendix 1) and hosts/parasites (Appendix 3) are particularly useful.
I think it would be more convenient if volumes 1 & 2 were combined. I'm now off hunting for a copy of volume 1.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Veterinary Guide to the Parasites of Reptiles, Vol. 2: Arthropods (Excluding Mites) (Hardcover)
This second volume in the A Veterinary Guide To The Parasites Of Reptiles series provides complete information necessary for an accurate diagnosis and treatment of reptiles affected by arthropod parasites (excluding mites). Susan Barnard (Department of Herpetology, Zoo Atlanta) and Lance A. Durden (Institute of Arthropodology and Parasitology, Georgia Southern University) collaborate to produce a text that is comprehensive and presented in annotated outline form for quick reference. Chapters are divided by arthropod groups (true bugs, flies, fleas, and ticks), and includes descriptions, hosts, host locations, sources of infestation and life cycles. Also included is a chapter on laboratory procedures for the herpetoculturist, and a bibliography of more than 430 references. Also highly recommended is the first volume in this series, A Veterinary Guide To The Parasites Of Reptiles: Volume 1, Protozoa.
