Rezensionen
"The Handbook covers many of these dreadful protistan parasites, but, unlike conventional parasitology texts, the parasitic species are discussed within the larger context of their encompassing phyla, allowing the reader to see how the general features of particular types of protists may have given them advantages in exploiting new hosts. ... The Handbook is thus an essential resource for researchers studying protistan parasites." (Wallace F. Marshall, Current Biology Magazine, Vol. 28 (3), February, 2018)
