This atlas, which has been lavishly illustrated, is the first of its kind and fills a gap in the global veterinary literature. The advantage of this book is that it takes into account all aspects of porcine dermatology (it covers non-infectious diseases and those whose origins are neither parasitic nor fungal), thus facilitating differential diagnosis.
Several of the OIE-listed swine diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, Aujeszky’s disease, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, classical swine fever and African swine fever (some of which also affect other species) can result in cutaneous clinical signs in pigs. For many ailments these signs are crucial for establishing a diagnosis.
