Veterinary Pathology

Veterinary Pathology: Diagnostics, Toxicology and Emerging Diseases presents a comprehensive and contemporary compilation of advances in animal disease diagnosis, pathology, and health management across livestock, poultry, companion animals, and aquatic species. This volume brings together contributions from leading veterinary scientists and academicians, offering an integrated perspective on both classical and emerging challenges in veterinary pathology. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics, including next-generation vaccine platforms, rapid and point-of-care diagnostics, molecular pathology, oncology, toxicopathology, and reproductive toxicology. It highlights critical disease conditions such as Newcastle disease, lumpy skin disease, Marek disease, African swine fever, enterotoxaemia, and white spot disease in shrimp, along with detailed insights into their epidemiology, pathogenesis, and control strategies. Special emphasis has been placed on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced molecular tools that are transforming disease diagnosis and surveillance. The inclusion of chapters on wildlife pathology, forensic pathology, and disease transmission at the wildlife–livestock interface further broadens the scope, reflecting the One Health approach. Designed for postgraduate students, researchers, academicians, and field veterinarians, this book serves as a valuable reference for understanding disease dynamics, improving diagnostic accuracy, and developing effective prevention and control strategies in modern veterinary practice.
