Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had purchased this textbook for a Medical Parasitology course I took, and I initially had mixed feelings about the book. This review will be from an UNDERGRADUATE student perspective.
Pros:
+Lots of really good information (Life cycle, diagnostic criteria, treatment, etc.)
+Pictures and diagrams are helpful with identification
+Large appendix with everything from staining procedure to a list companies (contact info included) to purchase supplies from
Cons:
-Too much information for a single semester undergraduate course
-Can be a difficult read compared to Elizabeth Zeibig's Clinical Parasitology: A Practical Approach
Summary:
If you are an instructor teaching a single semester parasitology course for undergraduates, I would suggest you pass this book up on your required textbook list. That said, I would also tell your students that if they are pursuing a career in the field of Parasitology or plan on practicing medicine in developing nations that this textbook would be extremely valuable to their efforts in diagnosing and treating parasite infections as there are not only pictures and diagrams of the parasites, but also pictures of people who are infected and what the wounds look like.
