Introduction

Parasitic Diseases of Goats provides a comprehensive exploration of parasitic infections affecting goats and their impact on various organ systems. The book covers a wide range of parasitic diseases, including those affecting the gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, and urogenital systems, as well as the liver, pancreas, skin, and musculoskeletal system. Diagnostic techniques and therapeutic approaches for managing these infections are also discussed in the chapters of this book.

This book is an essential resource for veterinarians, researchers, students, and professionals in parasitology and veterinary medicine.

Foreword

Parasitic infections can represent a serious obstacle to goat farming, reducing productive performance or even causing deaths. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose parasitic diseases correctly, apply the right treatment, and adopt effective prophylactic measures to raise goats efficiently. Unfortunately, it is common to adopt appropriate measures for other animals, but those are inadequate for goats. These inadequate procedures are the result of a gap in the literature regarding parasitic diseases of goats. The book "Parasitic Diseases of Goats" should contribute to filling that gap. In this book, veterinarians will find information specific to the species, which will assist them in making informed decisions. Veterinary professionals and goat producers should benefit from this book's description of parasitic diseases' etiopathogenesis, clinical effects, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. In light of all the knowledge presented in this book, I congratulate its editor, Tanmoy Rana. I hope that everyone who reads it finds it both interesting and informative.
