Avian Histopathology, Fourth Edition is the definitive visual and diagnostic guide for veterinary pathologists, diagnosticians, students, and professionals working with avian cases. Thoroughly revised with current information and an expanded collection of high-quality images, this essential reference illuminates the distinctive cellular architecture of avian organs and tissues, the species- and physiologic variations in normal histology, and the unique ways birds respond to infectious and non-infectious disease. Organized by organ system for efficient consultation, each chapter pairs clear descriptions of lesions with figures grouped by etiology, helping readers recognize key histomorphological features, correlate microscopic changes with gross lesions and clinical signs, and better understand disease pathogenesis. Built on the authors’ extensive diagnostic collections and experience, this authoritative edition belongs on the shelf of anyone seeking greater confidence and precision in interpreting avian tissue changes.
