Parasitology: Protozoology And Helminthology

This book forms a comprehensive synopsis of detailed practical parasitology, with some clinical material and with appendices covering specific diagnostic procedures and specific therapy. However, as would be expected in a book of this sort, the main emphasis falls on the parasite rather than on the patient. There is more than enough information for the undergraduate medical student, even in a tropical country and the book would also be valuable for practicing physicians, laboratory workers and pathologists, as well as for post-graduate students of tropical diseases. The book obviously fulfils a need to have entered its tenth edition in less than twenty years (not including reprinting). It is well bound, well printed and presented on suitable paper. This is a happy combination of text and atlas and as such ably succeeds in imparting the maximum of information in the minimum of space.
