Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"In this book, the authors, all experts in Malassezia research, cover the history of the fungal species, associated skin conditions, epidemiology, genomic data and current treatment options. ... the book is extremely well-written, with a consistent format and inclusion of clear and informative figures and tables. ... This book would be an ideal purchase for researchers, clinicians ... with a specialist interest in Malassezia, but also, as the first book to comprehensively review current scientific and clinical Malassezia knowledge, would be a worthwhile institutional purchase." (Donna MacCallum, Microbiology Today, 2010)
