Gross Pathology of Avian Diseases: Text and Atlas is an indispensable visual reference for avian pathologists, veterinarians, diagnosticians, students, and anyone responsible for bird health. Grounded in decades of diagnostic experience, this authoritative companion to Avian Histopathology reveals how the unique anatomy and physiology of birds shape disease and shows readers how to recognize, describe, and interpret gross lesions at necropsy—an essential skill for reaching rapid clinical diagnoses, guiding sample collection, confirming findings, and protecting individual birds and entire flocks. Organized by disease etiology, the book combines concise discussions of causation, pathogenesis, and transmission with more than 1,200 figures depicting over 120 avian diseases, including extensive in situ photographs that capture how lesions actually appear and how their distribution, extent, and severity can vary over time. Whether used at the necropsy table, in the diagnostic laboratory, or as a teaching resource, this richly illustrated text and atlas offers the practical insight and visual confidence needed to make faster, better-informed decisions in avian disease diagnosis.
