Atlas of Human Parasitology

Univ. of California, Los Angeles. Comprehensive guide for the identification and diagnosis of human parasites. Color illustrations. DNLM: Parasites--Atlases.

This is an excellent resource for those diagnosing parasitic infections and those teaching parasitology to medical students or medical technologists. The variety of color photographs gives the reader a truer perspective of what the organism may look like under the microscope. This is a comprehensive guide to human parasites and artifacts that resemble organisms. Other books on parasitology limit their contents to wordy explanations and black-and-white illustrations, whereas this atlas demonstrates that one color picture is worth one thousand words. --Roberta Carey, PhD -- Doody's Review Service ©
