An up-to-date descriptive atlas on the diagnosis of the main types of ectoparasitosis in dogs and cats. It covers the most relevant aspects of each parasite, using graphical resources to help identify these pathogens and decide on the actions to take in each case. The work is complemented with QR links to videos of collecting and processing samples and the visualization of some of these parasites under the microscope.
