7th edition extremely helpful! - By: D. Dadam, 06 Mar 2008 
The 7th edition is divided into sections for different hosts. Photos arein colour, which makes identification even easier especially for beginners, & size range of each parasite is also given. There is also a helpful section on common "pseudoparasites" (what one thinks is a parasite but it isn't!).
Overall, I think it is a very good book on the subject, & the photos are extremely useful.
Not nearly as useful for reference as the previous edition. - By: , 24 Jul 1999 
The features that made the 5th edition so helpful as a reference, like separating the book into sections according to the type of host (ie: dog, sheep, horse, rodent), & showing photos of the parasites that commonly are foundin or on that host, have been removed. Additionally, some very common parasites are not even includedin this 6th edition! Rather than a good reference book, it has now been reduced to somewhat of a primer on parasitology, one that introduces you to 'types' of parasites, rather than one that actually enables you to recognize characteristics of one parasite that distinguish it from another, similar parasite so that you can specifically identify it. This book is no longer useful, as the previous edition was, for reference work. I do not recommend it.
