Review
"Scientifically, the chapter is accurate...the figures have been well chosen and they will help the reader to grasp the main points more readily. It was a pleasure reviewing this material..."
Dr Juerg Utzinger, Swiss Tropical Institute, Switzerland
(referring to Case 32. Schistosoma)
"I like the use of questions to deliver teaching to students. They can easily identify with what is being discussed and how it fits in with the overall chapter. It can also quickly direct learning to the appropriate part of the text and aid revision."
Dr Gordon Ramage, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK
(referring to Case 1. Aspergillus fumigatus)
"…this is an extremely well-written book that would be a useful primer for microbiology – and medical students in understanding the natural history, diagnosis and treatment of many of the world’s most important human infectious diseases. It may also be of benefit to the research scientist, clinical laboratory scientist and practising infectious disease physicians." Andrew Taylor-Robinson, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Leeds, British Society of Immunology Newsletter
"...it will interest students in microbiology as much as it will interest clinical medical students…a handsome, excellent book on most common pathogens, with a clear orientation to immunology, physiopathology, and microbiology…It reads well and is an excellent textbook for medical students and a good source of illustrations, tables, and question ideas for teachers."
