Edited by Ramesh C. Gupta and published by Academic Press, Veterinary Toxicology: Basic and Clinical Principles, 4th Edition delivers a comprehensive reference on animal toxic exposures and clinical toxicosis. The volume establishes foundational scientific principles and clinical evaluation methods for DVM, MS, and PhD students pursuing advanced veterinary studies.
The content categorizes major chemical hazards and natural poisons into structured thematic groups. Chapters explore synthetic agrochemicals including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and anticoagulant rodenticides. Parallel sections analyze biological threats, covering zootoxins, poisonous plants, bacterial neurotoxins, and cyanobacterial toxins across domestic and wild species.
A key structural feature includes dedicated coverage of regulatory considerations, FDA issues, and ethics in veterinary toxicology. These combined subject areas support practicing veterinary toxicologists, toxicology researchers, and specialists at poison control centers seeking systematic references for toxicological evaluation.
