From the Author

This atlas is intended as an aid for students in a Parasitology course. Such courses typically require students to learn the microscopic appearance of parasites using commercially available microscope slides. This atlas, consisting mostly of photomicrographs of these same specimens, hopefully will enable students to locate and study parasites independently, at the same time reinforcing lecture information with the textual description accompanying each photograph. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview of Parisitology, March 25, 2002

I think this book makes a great companion to any parasitology text. It covers the "major" parasites and some vectors in example photos of perfect clarity. If you must identify such specimens in the laboratory, this is a great refrence book. Most examples you could come across will not be this clear, so the atlas will help you note the major differences between parasites, making identification easier. There is little or no "background noise" like there are on most slides available today so that you can focus on the parasite itself.

This review is from: A color atlas of parasitology (Spiral-bound)

I recently acquired a copy of this book, and found it quite good, the photographs present throughout the book, were well done and good for a atlas to have near the microscope as more than representation of the parasite appears, a failing found in some of the more established atalses. The fact that all of the photos are photos and ther are a number of them makes the book usefull in the lab environment. The accompany burst with each photo is concise and free of extraneous detail. However there are two critisms, the book would fae better if printed on a water resistant paper and a stronger back and front cover which a fixed by adding by own stronger front and back cover. this relates to the spiral bound edition.

This review is of the newest edition.
The new edition is on good papaer is spiral bound and has a good cover the CD adds volumes to the Book. The author has improved on the book. This is a book that would benefit by being in any parasitologists. Library

This review is from: A color atlas of parasitology (Spiral-bound)

This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to anyone taking a medical parasitology course, especially one with a laboratory component. The quality and scope of the images are outstanding, and everything we have covered in my parasitology class has been included in the book. It is a wise investment for anyone with a need to identify laboratory specimens of human parasites.
