In the book diagrams are coloured, simple and easy to understand. New tables, ample additional drawings and more than 250 coloured photographs have been added to the text which is written in crisp and lucid language and occasionally highlighted to render prominence to the sections of utmost importance. Each chapter begins with an overview and ends with review questions, general questions and references. All the MCQs are incorporated in the last chapter. The book should be useful to the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Parasitology as also to the Medical Laboratory Technology students.
