5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly Recommend Medical Parasitology., October 24, 2007

By	M. Readey "prairie house" (Chicago Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used this text in conjunction with my undergraduate course in Parasitology for four years. My students love the book. They report that it is easy to follow and well organized. The photographs are excellent, but for a class, a good atlas of parasitology is still needed in conjunction with this book. Because of their expense, we have one printed atlas for the room, and we access an online atlas for additional images and information.
