Atlas of Clinical Avian Hematology

This atlas provides fundamental and practical information to the haematological characteristics of birds. The book initially describes how to collect and handle blood samples from birds to best preserve the quality of the blood. This resource aids interpretation of haematological data, covering healthy and diseased birds. The atlas is illustrated throughout with colour photographs, and covers more than 100 species of birds. Basic and comparative aspects of avian haematology in healthy birds are described, including the variation in haematological characteristics between different orders. Haematological responses to disease are illustrated through brief case reports and identification of haematoparasites is covered. Emphasis is placed on the morphology of haematological cells to ensure accurate classification plus identification of pathological changes.
