Features: This book takes avian disease laboratory diagnosis techniques as its core and theme, comprehensively and systematically introducing laboratory diagnosis methods and technologies for various common and major avian diseases (such as avian influenza, Newcastle disease, etc.) currently. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a detailed introduction to common laboratory diagnosis techniques for avian infectious diseases, such as the production and application of culture media, drug sensitivity tests, serological tests, etc. The second part comprehensively and deeply explores avian disease pathological diagnosis techniques, such as post-mortem examination techniques, techniques for preparing gross pathological specimens, pathological tissue section preparation techniques, and post-mortem examination diagnostic methods for common avian diseases, etc. The third part systematically and thoroughly elaborates on the sample collection, transportation, and preservation for 17 bacterial infectious diseases, the morphological microscopic examination, isolation and culture, biochemical tests, serological diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of pathogenic bacteria; the sample collection and preservation, isolation and culture, morphological structure, physicochemical properties, serological diagnosis, and differential diagnosis for 22 viral infectious diseases; and the sample collection and preservation, morphological microscopic examination, isolation and culture, biochemical characteristics, serological diagnosis, and differential diagnosis for 4 other microbial infectious diseases. The book is rich in content, widely sourced, illustrated with images and diagrams, and easy to understand. In particular, many of its contents are derived from the author's long-term experience accumulated and summarized in scientific research, teaching, and clinical diagnosis practices, making it highly operational and practical. Therefore, this book is suitable as a technical guide for veterinary diagnostic institutions, grassroots veterinary technicians, and veterinary laboratory personnel, as well as for reference and reading by undergraduate students majoring in veterinary medicine.
