Editorial Reviews
Review
"This manual would be a valuable companion to both small and large medical laboratories, as well as to andrology labs...This is a good manual and I would personally recommend it to any laboratory that performs semen analysis. It would also be a good reference tool in forensic and artificial insemination laboratories." Canadian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science
"The WHO Manual should have a prominent place on the benches of all laboratories dealing with human semen and on the shelves of clinicians dealing with subfertile couples... The new fourth edition or the 'gold book,' as I am sure it will be called, will then continue to be the benchmark for setting more rigorous standards in the future." Human Fertility
