“The author has very concisely covered parasitology in a handy-sized book … . Its sections are clearly laid out with each parasite being broken down into smaller parts, making it easier for the reader to refer to. I particularly enjoyed the option of being able to find studies from recent papers in the further reading section after each parasite. … I enjoyed the layout of the book and shall use it to refer back to when I need to.” (Rashmita Bodhani, Microbiology Today, August, 2017)
