A structured introduction to veterinary microbiology

Organized in four parts, the book moves from foundational microbiology—including microbial structure, immune responses and therapeutics—to bacteria and fungi commonly encountered in veterinary medicine, then to diagnostic methods available to veterinary technicians. Its practical emphasis includes the technician’s role in history-taking, selecting and interpreting diagnostics, and educating clients. Callout boxes address topics such as zoonoses and biosecurity, while a glossary and chapter-end further readings support study and follow-up. The structure connects core concepts with subjects relevant to veterinary team practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Veterinary technician and technologist students seeking an introductory microbiology text.
  • Veterinary technicians interested in diagnostic methods, client education, zoonoses and biosecurity.
