Review:
"This manuscript is written for both technicians and technologists. It provides both didactic and technical protocols in one text. The study of medical parasitology is documented from a historical perspective to the current date along with the tedious, accurate identification of pathogenic versus nonpathogenic organisms. This textbook is becoming available to replace the typically used textbooks in clinical laboratory science programs." Mildred K. Fuller, Ph.D., MT (ASCP), Norfolk State University
"As a professional microbiologist, I found this book to be interesting and easy to read. The book covers many of the parasites that are clinically relevant without being to technical or fact heavy." - Tobi L Camilli BS, ASCP(M), University of New Mexico, Gallup Branch
