Photomicrographs and original drawings of the various stages and forms of parasites and eggs are used extensively throughout the text, with the photomicrographs printed to a standard scale for easy comparison. More than 400 illustrations in all are included. Biological keys for intestinal amoebae and eggs of various species of helminths are provided.
This book is an essential reference for teachers of diagnostic parasitology and their students, physicians who order fecal examinations for intestinal parasites, nurses or health workers who handle or prepare the specimens for the laboratory, and technologists who receive, process, and examine the specimens.
Donald L. Price, Ph.D., received his doctorate in zoology from the University of Maryland, with a specialty in Medical Zoology. He has broad experience as a scientist, consultant, and educator. For 22 years, Dr. Price served in the United States Army, first as a pilot in WWII, and for 18 years as a Medical Zoologist (parasitology) in the Medical Service Corps. He retired in 1968 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
