Diagnostic Medical Parasitology is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the diagnosis of parasitic diseases in humans. Written by two authors with years of practical laboratory experience, this book serves as a "how to" text for all diagnostic procedures in the identification of parasitic infections. The first section of Diagnostic Medical Parasitology is a thorough presentation of parasites seen in the clinical laboratory. Each is accompanied by drawings, identification charts, photographs, the parasite's life cycle, diagnostic laboratory procedures, interpretation of laboratory results, and diagnostic tips. The text includes the treatment, epidemiology and prevention for each parasitic disease. This section also includes chapters on the immuno-compromised patient, nosocomial and laboratory-acquired infections, unusual parasitic organisms, and medical important arthropods. The second part of the book details both common and specialized laboratory techniques needed to diagnose parasitic infections. You'll find easy-to-follow laboratory procedures for the collection, examination, and fixation of specimens, as well as quality control and laboratory safety recommendations.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference book, not necessarily good for undergraduate classroom use,

This review is from: Diagnostic Medical Parasitology (Hardcover)
I had purchased this textbook for a Medical Parasitology course I took, and I initially had mixed feelings about the book. This review will be from an UNDERGRADUATE student perspective.
Pros: +Lots of really good information (Life cycle, diagnostic criteria, treatment, etc.) +Pictures and diagrams are helpful with identification +Large appendix with everything from staining procedure to a list companies (contact info included) to purchase supplies from Cons: -Too much information for a single semester undergraduate course -Can be a difficult read compared to Elizabeth Zeibig's Clinical Parasitology: A Practical Approach Summary: If you are an instructor teaching a single semester parasitology course for undergraduates, I would suggest you pass this book up on your required textbook list. That said, I would also tell your students that if they are pursuing a career in the field of Parasitology or plan on practicing medicine in developing nations that this textbook would be extremely valuable to their efforts in diagnosing and treating parasite infections as there are not only pictures and diagrams of the parasites, but also pictures of people who are infected and what the wounds look like.

The new edition (the fifth) is better than the previously published. This book is usefull in a parasitology lab. The key points for laboratory diagnostic are usefull for driving lab tech and students. Infectious diseases provoked by rare parasite are not forgotten. the ratio weight of paper with a lot of draws and pictures /price is very good.
