Best books for Identifying parasites....?

wolfcharmer Dec 28, 2003 04:32 PM

I'm looking for a good parasite book with lots of pics. Currently I have Dr. Klingenburg's "Understanding Reptile Parasites".
Thanks for any suggestions.

The pictures in that book are just horrible! I highly recommend the color guide that is made by the same author, that is what I have been going by and it is truly useful (see the link). I believe that is the only inexpensive parasite guide for reptiles and amphibians until you get into the books by Frye, Mader and Wright that usually cost well over $100.
