This book is designed for medical and veterinary students and practitioners to help them to identify the protozoa which cause disease in man and domestic animals. Since many of these organisms are examined in preparations stained with Giemsa, coloured illustrations are provided instead of black and white photographs. Unfortunately the reproduction of these illustrations on the printed page is often so imperfect that a good part of the superiority of colored illustrations is lost. The book is meant to be complementary to the usual text-books available and the text is used mainly to draw attention to important features in diagnosis. The material is arranged according to the location of parasites in their hosts. - from www.cabdirect.org
