Description
Designed as a training aid for laboratorians this volume supplements the large standard textbooks in clinical parasitology, containing brief and easily accessible summaries of diagnostic procedures and organism morphology. The book offers descriptions of the parasites with clear illustrations, both diagrammatic and photographic. The emphasis throughout is on practical information and the book is full of "how to" tips gleaned from the author's own experience of many years in the clinical laboratory.
