Excellent textbook/reference

This book, now the 7th edition, is known among parasitologists as the best available overview of parasitology. It covers all parasites, not just human infections, therefore it provides knowledge about parasite diversity and relationships. I am a biologist and found it valuable when moving into parasitolgy work. Highly recommended.

Incredible

The book is excellent. Useful pictures and diagrams with great descriptions and text to go with it. I really enjoyed this text for class and out side of class for my own enjoyment.

The best available

This excellent text which is now in its 6th edition is probably the best general coverage of the science of parasitology available. I teach parasitology at the university level, which means that I have surveyed the competition. For completeness, abundance of relevant illustrations, and well-written coverage, this book is the best I have seen. I reviewed parts of the book for the publisher prior to this latest edition, and I believe that this latest edition is significantly better that the 5th. One point I should make is that this is not a clinical parasitology text covering only parasites of humans and our domesticated animals, nor is it a medical guide to treatment. Rather it is an excellent and broad coverage of the strange and interesting world of the parasites of animals.
