Comprehensive Guide to Animal Histology: A New Edition

By Francisco Javier Salguero Bodes and Francisco Jose Pallares Martinez, this highly illustrated textbook provides an in-depth look at the normal histological appearance of tissues in a wide range of animals, including domestic and exotic species. The new edition emphasizes the importance of understanding normal tissue structure to recognize abnormalities, making it an essential resource for veterinary students, practitioners, and pathologists.

Organized by body system, this updated version introduces new species such as companion mammals, aquatic species, and livestock into each chapter. It also features a wealth of new high-quality images to enhance understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. A new chapter dedicated to epithelial tissue has been added, providing comprehensive coverage of this critical component of animal histology.

In addition to the expanded species coverage and new images, the authors have also included discussions on new techniques used in histology and histopathology. These include in situ hybridization (ISH) and digital image analysis, which are becoming increasingly important tools in the field of veterinary medicine. Pathogenesis explanations have been integrated into the text, offering insights into the development and progression of diseases at the tissue level.
