Tropical Veterinary Toxicology

Mohd Noor, Mohd Hezmee

Addresses the unique toxicological challenges of veterinary practice in tropical and subtropical regions

Tropical Veterinary Toxicology delivers a comprehensive resource addressing toxicological challenges specific to tropical and subtropical environments. The book provides practical approaches for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of toxicoses in livestock, companion animals, and wildlife, covering foundational toxicological principles alongside region-specific applications.

The book examines critical topics including heavy metal poisoning, natural toxicants, pesticide exposure, and feed-related toxicities, each supported by real-world case studies compiled over a decade of research. With structured coverage of toxicological diagnosis, biotransformation pathways, and treatment protocols, the material serves both as a quick reference for practitioners and an academic text for students.

Readers will also find:

• Detailed coverage of pesticides including organophosphates, carbamates, organochlorines, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids
• Comprehensive examination of heavy metal toxicoses with chelation therapy and management protocols
• Extensive discussion of natural toxicants from plants, fungi, and animal sources
• Practical toxicological diagnosis techniques including specimen selection, submission guidelines, and laboratory testing
• Integration of tropical-specific challenges with globally applicable toxicology principles

Intended for undergraduate and postgraduate veterinary students, veterinary practitioners, and wildlife professionals, Tropical Veterinary Toxicology will also benefit registered veterinary nurses, toxicology researchers, and professionals in laboratory animal medicine and wildlife conservation seeking authoritative guidance on toxicological challenges in tropical and subtropical regions.
