The chapters in this text summarize what is known about the most important parasitic diseases of humans, some caused by one species and some, like leishmaniasis, by several.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is a useful reference, and quite indispensable to the physician who desires to know their 'enemy' more completely rather than simply working out of a 'treatment cookbook.' ...an outstanding book on the clinically-oriented biology of parasitic disease." -- Family Medicine and International Health, Winter 2000, No. 4
