ASCP Press Expands Atlas of Human Parasitology
Global travel, urbanization, immigration and emigration have all contributed to a significant increase in the numbers of parasite species that laboratory personnel may encounter not just in less developed tropical regions but anywhere in the world. The fifth edition of Human Parasitology, now available from ASCP Press, gives laboratory professionals the assistance you need to identify both common and uncommon parasites whenever you encounter then, however infrequently.

The expanded content includes a rearranged sequence of topics for a more laboratory user-friendly presentation. Chapters cover protozoa, helminths, arthropods, pseudoparasites and artifacts, and practical diagnostic procedures and methodology. More than 800 color images will help you identify the parasites you see in your laboratory. While not serving as an exhaustive textbook on parasitology, the atlas provides a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information on parasite diagnosis.

The Atlas of Human Parasitology, 5th Edition, was written by Lawrence R. Ash, PhD, professor emeritus of infectious and tropical diseases in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Public Health, and Thomas C. Orihel, PhD, professor emeritus, Department of Tropical Medicine at Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans.

“We hope the new content and treatments, especially the added features—morphologic keys, clinical images, new morphologic plates, important diagnostic procedures, and expanded consideration of parasite-like artifacts and pseudoparasites—will provide further help in improving your laboratory performance,” the authors wrote.
