Average rating of 5/5 Excellent introduction to immunoparasitology, 2003-02-22
As a student studying both parasites and immunology for the first time, this is an excellent book. It gives an introduction to immunology for those who are new to the field, followed by an overview of responses to parasites before dealing with specific parasites. The main parasites covered in undergraduate classes are here i.e plasmodium, schistosomes, nematodes etc. and the chapters here give a more in depth look at the response to each.
There is a useful section at the back with recommended books and journals, as well as websites.
If you're new to parasites and immunology - this is the book for you!
