Best of its kind.:
This is a great guide for new employees to the Veterinary medical field. I teach a class for assistants and we use it to help identify parasites. Couldn't get along without it.
the book came in handy for a project I had to do for parisitology. I would recomend this book and hope Vet Tech Schools would use it for their studends as the main book.
No complaints:
The book arrived in the time frame it was supposed to and in the condition they said it would be in.
Excellent Reference:
This literature is an excellent photographic reference of microscopic parasites. A failing is photos lack color.
