Fungal Diseases of Animals

Abstract

Although fungi have always been responsible for disease and death among domestic animals the study of these organisms has been somewhat neglected. At present, however, it is a rapidly growing subject, and since the existing literature on fungal diseases is widely spread in different journals, all mycologists welcome this concise text book. It is the first text book in English on this subject and is divided into 17 chapters each of which deals systematically with a group of diseases caused by related fungi. The very comprehensive bibliography makes this book a valuable addition to the liberary of research workers in the Held of mycology. Practising veterinarians will find a solution to many obscure conditions in this book. The illustrations contained in the text are superb.
