The pictures and life cycles in this book saved my butt in Parasitology class. Instead of reading pages upon pages of paragraphs, there are lists and bullets of information. Therefore, it is a straightforward reading. I used it as a way to memorize the different parasites, and the pictures are detailed enough so I can find the distinct difference between similar parasites!
This has been an excellent programed text that I have used in my courses for the last two decades. It has enough facts, concepts and images to prepare for the American Society of Clinical Pathologists exam.
This newest version much better than the very good 2nd edition.I ordered Kindle and ...its bad, hard to flip through, photos not as clear as in the book, better than a PDF -- but not much better.Received the print book today, they've added the Relative Size of Helminth Eggs chart to the inside of the front cover, and amoeba/trophs on the inside of back cover.Get the print book.
The best thing about this text is that there are many photos of microscopic images with very few images of the parasites entering or exiting the host. . .made my stomach very happy to avoid those mental images!
This text was required for my Clinical Parasitology/Mycology/Virology course. It was helpful in enumerating lab procedures and going over basics for lab procedures. I wish the photo atlas had been more comprehensive and that a more in depth look at the biology of the pathogens had been covered. I think instructors would do better require both a lab and a lecture book instead fo one that tries to do both.
It is tailored to my course and has all parasites with exception of one or two. The color pictures, questions at the back of chapters, and size comparison charts are very helpful. My only peeve is that the photos of parasitic stages (with some information) are listed in the Atlas at the front and it is meant to supplement the parasitic topic later in the book. This causes to switch back and forth for a particular topic, which is not a pleasant experience in my opinion.
The e-book version has several irritating elements. Copying text from anything italicized causes the output to be misspelled. Certain questions are images so they cannot be copied for homework assignments. The limit for copying text is very low, only 1/4 through my microbiology course and kindle warns of running into the publisher's copy limits.The CDC parasitology website has far more current information, only reason for the purchasing the book is to fulfill class requirements.
This book was well organized. The charts were helpful. Content was clear and useful. Diagrams were a bit tricky at points, but overall a good choice.
