Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Keys to the Trematoda will become the standard reference on the group for many years. Given the infrequency of appearance of such large works, this is likely to remain the definitive work for the first half of this century and to find a place on book-shelves all over the planet." -- David Blair, School of Tropical Biology, Australia
"...we consider the Keys to represent a valuable contribution to taxonomic research on trematodes...Keys to the Trematoda will undoubtedly represent an indispensable source of basic information about the systematics of these helminths." -- Scholz & Horak, Folia Parasitologica, 2003
"The editors and the authors have succeeded in preparing a book which is valuable to experts, practising Parasitologists and beginners, and they should be congratulated on their great success." --Zdzislaw Swiderski & Boyko B. Georgiev, Acta Parasitologica, 2005, 50(4)

It's a pleasure for me to find this book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Keys to the Trematoda, Volume 3 (Cabi) (Hardcover)
I am a Korean, major in Parasitology.
Among the fields of parasitology, I have interested in the intestinal trematode, especially crab-mediated microphallids. However, to study microphallid is very difficult for me because there have been few books on this subject. I wrote the articles on microphallids based on the old articles written in 1950s. Hence, this book is a sweet rain for me. Thank you for the authors and publishers.
