I have taught medical parasitology on the college level for over ten years. I have used several different textbooks in my courses, including this textbook. I must say that this is the most user friendly textbook on parasitology that I have used or reviewed. I have read this book from cover to cover and before I took a national certification test to become a Specialist in Medical Microbiology I read it again. The illustrations are outstanding and the format of the book makes it fun to read. Of all the books that I have used in any of the courses I teach in clinical laboratory science I think this is the ultimate text for a beginning medical technology or medical student. The price is very reasonable for this book. The book is concise and the author has included only the most pertinent information for parasite identification and parasitic pathology. Michael K.

Thorough, detailed, scientific and informative. Not an easy subject matter, but presented very well, clinical and understandable. An excellent textbook.
