Summary:

This book accompanies Infectious Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles, Second Edition, to cover noninfectious diseases of reptiles, meeting the need for a similar, authoritative single-source reference. Subjects range from neoplasia, nutrition, and metabolic disease, and deposition disorders to developmental anomalies, trauma, and physical diseases, and the unique contribution of paleopathology and diseases of bone. Each chapter is supported by numerous figures, many of which are unique and cannot be found in the published literature. Readers will note that some of the chapters are based on organ system, a trend that will continue into the next edition to encompass all of the basic organ systems.
