Product Description
With the appearance of its Second Edition, this book reaffirms its status as the essential parasitological reference. For this revision, a number of new photomicrographs—including a series depicting unstained erythrophagocytic trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica—have been added to the already thorough collection. The discussion of laboratory methods has been revised and updated, and a section of serologic testing has been added. The textual descriptions of the intestinal protozoa, intestinal helmiths, and confusing objects found in feces continue to provide an excellent complement to the color atlas. The book as a whole continues to adhere to the standards of quality that has made it, by all accounts, a truly classic, truly unique, truly indispensable volume.
