Abnormalities of cells and tissues, caused by injury, in non-human vertebrate animal species are explained in this textbook. It provides a framework of basic principles of general pathology and adds to this knowledge of molecular pathology in a clear manner for students.

Abnormalities of cells and tissues, caused by injury, in non-human vertebrate animal species are explained in this textbook. It provides a framework of basic principles of general pathology and adds to this knowledge of molecular pathology in a clear manner for students. This text contains instruction in the interaction of disease processes, as well as information about the ways basic pathologic processes interact during disease. There is emphasis on gross and light microscopic changes, mechanisms responsible for events in disease, and interspecies comparisons. Undergraduate and graduate students in veterinary medicine and biology (especially fish and zoology), and medical pathologists with interests in comparative medicine should benefit from this book.
