Veterinary Toxicology By Patricia Marques Book Cover

By Göran E. Nilsson

Veterinary Toxicology by Patricia Marques is a comprehensive veterinary toxicology textbook that provides a structured and scientific overview of toxicological principles affecting animal health. The book explains key subjects including neurotoxicity, immunotoxicology, environmental toxicology, and the effects of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and heavy metals on domestic and companion animals.

It also discusses diagnostic toxicology, therapeutics, genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on immune cells, and the impact of radiations and radioactive materials. Designed for veterinary students, researchers, and clinicians, this textbook offers clear insights into both foundational toxicology concepts and real-world veterinary applications.
