Antiparasitic Drug Resistance in Veterinary Practice

Description

Antiparasitic Drug Resistance in Veterinary Practice

Antiparasitic Drug Resistance in Veterinary Practice, edited by Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan with contributions from leading experts, is a highly relevant and authoritative textbook addressing one of the most critical challenges facing modern veterinary medicine and animal health. This book is specifically developed for veterinary doctors, parasitologists, pharmacologists, veterinary scientists, researchers, and postgraduate students, with particular relevance to Pakistan and other developing regions where parasitic diseases remain widespread.

This comprehensive veterinary reference provides an in-depth scientific and clinical understanding of how resistance develops across parasites affecting livestock, poultry, companion animals, and public health. It explains how resistance evolves, spreads, and reduces treatment success, with particular emphasis on food security, zoonotic disease risks, and veterinary drug stewardship in Pakistan.

One of the major strengths of this book is its detailed analysis of antiparasitic resistance mechanisms, including genetic mutations, biochemical pathways, molecular adaptations, and phenotypic changes in parasites. These insights are essential for veterinarians and researchers involved in diagnosis, treatment planning, surveillance, and policy formulation.

The authors also stress that while the development of new antiparasitic drugs is important, effective regulation, improved management practices, and alternative control strategies are equally critical. This balanced approach makes the book highly valuable for clinical practitioners, educators, researchers, and policymakers working to strengthen animal health systems.

Overall, Antiparasitic Drug Resistance in Veterinary Practice is an essential veterinary medical book for understanding, diagnosing, and controlling resistance in real-world settings. It serves as a reliable long-term reference for clinical practice, academic teaching, research work, and professional exam preparation.
