Consistent presentation of information on individual parasites – including common name, size and location of adult, size of egg, and importance (such as disease condition caused by the parasite adult/egg) – helps you quickly locate vital data. Detailed coverage of parasite life cycles includes additional life cycle drawings to help you easily communicate prevention and control strategies to clients. New pictures of pseudoparasites (yeast cells, pollen grains, plant cells) help you recognize pseudoparasites and understand how they differ from parasites.
