 Easy to use reference book September 3, 2009
An. cylostoma (TX, USA)
Although not referenced for a parasitology book, I was recommended this by classmates as it was well designed and easy to find information and understand that information.
 Animal Parasites Up Close June 28, 2009
Erin Darr (Pittsburgh, PA)
Veterinary Parasitology is a great reference work. Included within its pages are all known internal and external parasites of dogs, cats, cattle, sheep, goats, birds, pigs, horses and even llamas, ostriches and emus. Included is also a short chapter on parasites which may infect humans. For each parasite, there is a black and white micrograph pictured and a description of how and where each parasite lives. Also listed under each parasite is "Importance" what the parasite does to each organism, "Diagnosis" standard method of diagnosis, "Treatment" specific medications and dosage. The manual's Contents and Index are extensive. I only wish the photographs were in color and that they had included color photos of animals' infections.
The Most Practical Parasite Book on the Market March 20, 2009
Scott S. Waltner (Mount Vernon, WA)
This book is used in many of the veterinary parasitology classes across the USA. But it is simple enough for most animal enthusists to understand. The simple outline approach with acurrate photographs is second to none. We distribute these books to our clients that are performing their own fecal examinations.

Best of its kind. August 31, 2008

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.
