5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent textbook/reference,
This review is from: Foundations of Parasitology (Hardcover)
This book, now the 7th edition, is known among parasitologists as the best available overview of parasitology. It covers all parasites, not just human infections, therefore it provides knowledge about parasite diversity and relationships. I am a biologist and found it valuable when moving into parasitolgy work. Highly recommended.

Great Book!,
This review is from: Foundations of Parasitology (Hardcover)
I work with parasites and this book is excellent to reference to. It is easy to get lost in the books great use of parasite descriptions and infections. Great illustrations for modes of transmission as well.

Bought it for class,
This review is from: Foundations of Parasitology (Hardcover)
Had to buy this book for class, wouldn't buy it otherwise. The authors did try to make it entertaining as much they can with a book about parasites but it's still not the best. We still use quite a bit of supplementary material in order to understand the parasites more in depth.
