(Click on stars for an explanation)

This 650-paged book is one that I had difficulty starting to read; however after delving into the text, I realized it was a great resource for anyone researching and writing papers on any parasite that affects vertebrate species. The manner in which the book is organized makes it easy for anyone to locate the information sought. Comprised of nine chapters divided into two parts, the chapters are individually based on various orders such as Rhabditida, Strongylida, Oxyurida, Ascaridida and Spirurida to name a few. The various super families of each order are outlined in each chapter as well as the associated families. The chapters, though together equaling 650 pages of text, are themselves not overly long individually and are the result of as many as eighty references in each chapter. All illustrations are in the form of line drawings which are educational for the reader.

This book would prove fascinating reading for those interested in the scientific data and informational presentations associated with parasitology. It would also be of use to those writing a paper or conducting research in the field. It would not, however, be of use to veterinary technicians or clinical employees in a veterinary setting. For this reason, this reviewer is not inclined to advocate that this book is essential to veterinarians or veterinary technicians once they have graduated from school and no longer “need another citation”.
