Schalm's Veterinary Hematology

The long-awaited Sixth Edition of Schalm's Veterinary Hematology has been revised and reorganized to increase accessibility and cohesiveness of the text. Topics are grouped within established disciplines in hematology, and outlines are now included at the beginning of each chapter. The book features new sections on Hematotoxicity and Quality Control and Laboratory Techniques, and includes expanded sections on Laboratory Animal Hematology, Species Specific Hematology, and Hematologic Neoplasia. With in-depth coverage on all aspects of the field, this comprehensive reference is an essential purchase for veterinary clinical hematologists, internists, and students.

Douglas J. Weiss, DVM, MS, PhD, is Professor of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul. Current areas of research include immune mechanisms that determine susceptibility/resistance to Johne's disease, detection and differentiation of leukemias and lymphomas, and detection of activated neutrophils and platelets in infectious diseases.

K. Jane Wardrop, DVM, MS, DACVP, is Professor Chief, Clinical Pathology at Washington State University's Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Specific research areas include veterinary transfusion medicine, hemostasis, and thrombosis. She was also an editor on the Fifth Edition of Schalm's.
