Tropical Veterinary Toxicology

Detailní popis produktu

Designed for both practicing veterinarians and students, the book addresses a wide range of toxic agents commonly encountered in tropical environments. It integrates toxicological principles with real-world case studies collected over more than a decade of clinical and research experience, providing practical diagnostic approaches, treatment protocols, and preventive strategies.

The book covers topics including:

• Principles of veterinary toxicology
• Toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics
• Toxicological diagnosis
• Collection and submission of diagnostic samples
• Laboratory testing
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Lead toxicity
• Mercury toxicity
• Arsenic poisoning
• Cadmium toxicity
• Natural plant toxins
• Mycotoxins
• Cyanobacterial toxins
• Animal toxins
• Snake envenomation
• Arthropod toxins
• Pesticide poisoning
• Organophosphate toxicity
• Carbamate poisoning
• Organochlorine pesticides
• Pyrethroid toxicity
• Neonicotinoid poisoning
• Feed-related toxicities
• Environmental toxicants
• Wildlife toxicology
• Companion animal poisoning
• Livestock poisoning
• Treatment protocols
• Chelation therapy
• Supportive care
• Prevention and risk reduction
• Clinical case studies

By combining foundational toxicology with practical regional applications, the book equips veterinarians with the knowledge needed to recognize toxic exposures, establish accurate diagnoses, implement appropriate treatments, and reduce the impact of toxic diseases in tropical veterinary practice. Although focused on tropical and subtropical regions, many of its diagnostic principles and treatment recommendations are broadly applicable in veterinary medicine.
