Bell, D.R. Annals
of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology
“This is an
excellent up-to-date review of current knowledge on the subject of human
strongyloidiasis and those species of animal Strongyloides which can infect man from time to time. The editor is
Dr. D.I. Grove, whose work with Strongyloides
infection in Australian ex Far East prisoners of war is well known and who
has made several important contributions to the subject.”
Cook, G.C. Journal of Infection
“This excellently
produced and authoritative volume … fills an important gap in the review
literature devoted to the intestinal helminthiases. It is to be warmly
recommended both to physicians and … parasitologists with an interest in human
nematode infections.”
Denham, D.A. Tropical Diseases Bulletin
“There has been a
need for a good textbook on the subject of human strongyloidiasis. This book
has gone a long way towards being perfect."
Jira, J. Journal of Hygiene, Epidemiology,
Microbiology and Immunology; Also in Folia
Parasitologica, Helminthologia 28:
2-3, 1991 and in the original Czech
language journals
“This
monothematic monograph is a summary of all hitherto known facts, a valuable
supplement to textbooks of medical parasitology and tropical medicine and
covers all aspects of the problem. The publication is recommended for
specialists in infectious and tropical diseases, epidemiologists and especially
parasitologists of medical, biological and veterinary orientation.”
Nicholas, W.L. International Journal for Parasitology
“The editor has
organized a well balanced and comprehensive account of an important human
disease about which much more needs to be known… The book, which I read with
pleasure, has much to interest parasitologists generally and should prove
invaluable to clinical medical parasitologists. It is good value for money.”
Polderman, A.M. Tropical and Geographical Medicine
“This is an
important monograph on an often neglected parasite of man… The publisher’s
statement that ‘this major roundworm infection of man is comprehensively
summarized in this unique volume’ is not exaggerated.”
Ramanakira, G. Médecine Tropicale
“Didactique,
complet, de lecture agréable, ce manuel sera d’une très grande utilité pour le
parasitologue, pour les clinicians qui auront à traiter cette affection
parasitaire sans oublier l’étudiant qui prépare son diplôme de Médecine
Tropicale.”
(Instructive,
complete and of a pleasant presentation, this manual will be of very great use
to parasitologists, clinicians who treat this parasitological infection and
also those who are studying for the diploma in tropical medicine. – translated
by DI Grove)
Schutte, CHJ. South African Medical Association Journal
“This is an
attractively produced and beautifully illustrated book of ... superb quality...
The book will be most useful to clinicians faced with managing afflicted
patients and to parasitologists, particularly those interested in human
nematode infections.”
Sturrock, R.F. Transactions of the Royal Society of
Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
“Clinicians,
researchers, teachers and students alike will find it an invaluable reference
book, and not merely for the exhaustive reference list accompanying each
chapter.”
Unfortunately, this book is now out of print.
It may be possible to photocopy a chapter if
you are desperate.
