‘Overall, this chapter provides good introductory information that is suitable for this chapterInformation is presented in a concise manner, scientifically appropriate and covered to appropriate depth for an introduction chapter. I particularly liked reading the boxes (quite informative and easy to read)… Discussion on each topic is well focused and to appropriate detail… Overall, this could be an important addition in the field of parasitic protozoa. I would certainly consider this book as a text for my courses’ Naveed Kahn, University of Nottingham (referring to chapter 1, Introduction to Medical Protozoology)

‘In general I think the chapter covers all major topics related to malaria and is not overly inclusive.’ Dr Carlos Guerra, University of Oxford (referring to chapter 15, Malaria)
