This classic clinical laboratory parasitology reference, now in its third edition, has been extensively revised and updated in a new full-color format. Still organized to provide maximum help to the user, particularly from the bench perspective, every section has been expanded with new images and discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecimen collection, preservation, and testing options are thoroughly discussed, from the routine ova and parasite examination to blood films, fecal immunoassays, and the newer molecular test panels. Specific test procedures, laboratory methods and reagents, and algorithms are provided. The ever-helpful \"FAQ\" section of commonly asked questions now offers expanded information on stool specimen fixatives and testing, thorough coverage of new techniques, and advice on reporting and commenting on results.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe heart of the \u003ci\u003eGuide\u003c\/i\u003e, covering identification of individual pathogens, has been expanded with more discussion and comparison of organisms and dozens of new color images. An entirely new section has been added that uses extensive figures and new tables to illustrate common problems with differentiating organisms from one another and from possible microscopic artifacts. The final section has been reorganized to include identification keys and dozens of tables summarizing organism characteristics to assist the bench microbiologist with routine diagnostic testing methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you are looking for online access to the latest clinical microbiology content, please visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/learn\/clinmicronow\"\u003ewww.wiley.com\/learn\/clinmicronow\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynne Shore Garcia\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of LSG \u0026amp; Associates, a firm providing training, teaching, and consultation services for diagnostic medical parasitology and health care administration.
