This updated version of the world's most popular medical textbook on the subject builds on the success of the 4th edition, keeping the same basic format as before. New findings from the research laboratory and bedside have been integrated into a clearly written narrative covering all aspects of each major disease entity. Every chapter has been updated, documented by the addition of some 550 new references (1,869 in total), bringing a fresh new perspective to the subject of parasitic infections. The text is generously illustrated with 417 figures, most of which are in brilliant, full color. The text's stunning life cycle drawings and superb scanning electron micrographs, so popular with students, have all been kept intact for the 5 th edition, serving as one of the centerpieces of Parasitic Diseases. An up to date version of The Medical Letter compliments the extensively revised Appendix section. Finally, some useful web sites are listed in Appendix E. Our textbook is expressly intended as a guide for practitioners and students of medicine. Clinicians who routinely give advice to their patients regarding international travel will find the 5th edition most useful. Doody's Review Service of medical books gave the 4th edition its highest rating. The 5th edition promises to exceed their expectations.

A fellow medical student,

This review is from: Parasitic Diseases, Fifth Edition (Hardcover)
I used this book in undergraduate education and found it easy to read with excellent diagrams and format. This is the number one recommended book of my nobel prize nominated parasitology professor, and is well worth every penny. Also, the hard cover and thick pages make it a great addition to my library.
5.0 out of 5 stars
