Ectoparasites in small animals. Life cycles
Malá příručka shromažďující všechny životní cykly nejběžnějších ektoparazitů u psů a koček. Paraziti jsou seskupeni na základě jejich životního cyklu a následně jejich citlivosti na antiparazitika. Cílem je poskytnout čtenářům klíčové aspekty kontroly a prevence parazitóz s důrazem na nemoci, které mohou přenášet. Zahrnuty jsou také mapy geografického rozložení.

Small handbook gathering all the life cycles of the most common ectoparasites in dogs and cats. Similar parasites are grouped together based on their life cycle and, consequently, their sensitivity to parasiticides. The aim is to provide readers with key aspects of parasite control and prevention, highlighting those diseases that can be transmitted by them. Geographic distribution maps are also included.
