Book description
Veterinary Infection Prevention and Control
is a practical guide to infection surveillance and control in the
veterinary setting. Outlining the steps for designing and implementing
an infection control plan, the book offers information on both
nosocomial infections and zoonotic diseases to aid the veterinary team
in ensuring that veterinary practices and hospitals are safe for both
the animal patients and their human caregivers. Veterinary Infection

effective and efficient infection control in any veterinary
practice.
With background information on pathogens, bacteria, and
disease transmission, the book focuses on specific infection
prevention strategies, including disinfection, sterilization, and
isolation. A companion website provides review questions and the
figures from the book in PowerPoint. Veterinary Infection
Prevention and Control gives practicing veterinarians,

facilities the tools they need to successfully develop an
infection-control program.
