This volume is the first in a series covering the diagnosis and treatment of reptilian parasites. Information is presented in annotated outline form for quick reference. Chapters are divided by phyla and include descriptions of recently recognised parasitic protozoa of reptiles; their hosts, host locations and modes of transmission are given, as well as their life cycles when known. The text also includes a chapter on laboratory procedures for the herpetoculturist and a bibliography of approximately 250 references.
