Riassunto

The last ten years have seen an increase in travel to tropical countries and, as a consequence, infections such as malaria and schistosomiasis are more common. It is therefore essential that physicians, microbiologists, and scientists are familiar with the diagnosis of these parasitic diseases. There is a growing recognition of the importance of "temperate" parasites, and this has been emphasized by the HIV epidemic. This book is a practical manual for use in both routine diagnostic microbiology laboratories and more specialists laboratories diagnosing human parasites. All of the major groups of parasites are dealt with in individual chapters which include detailed protocols and recommendation for the diagnosis of infections caused by those parasites, together with color and black and white illustrations. The authors provide information and practical guidance appropriate for both the developed and developing world. This informative new book will be of great use to clinical pathologists, laboratory technicians, and students and researchers in tropical medicine.

Su questo libro

Recensione

Without question, this book is a very welcome addition to the field of diagnostic parasitology. I would certainly recommend it for purchase by all clinical laboratories involved in microbiological and parasitological diagnosis. (Leslie H. Chappell, University of Aberdeen, Parasitology Today, vol. 12, no. 6, 1996)

This book is another excellent addition to the Practical Approach series. It is a good laboratory reference manual for use by field and health workers, diagnostic laboratories and researchers in both developing and developed countries and would be useful to students of medical parasitology. (Anne Kaukas, SGM Quarterly, February 1997)
