Abstract
The Atlas of Human Malaria (book size: 14 by 9 inches) is an illustrated atlas of malaria parasites infecting humans around the world and is written in double language, English and Italian. The book contains a total of 452 highest quality color photomicrographs (6 by 4 inches), each with precise description and explanations, and 11 figure or illustration plates (full pages). The Atlas covers mainly the 4 species of human-infecting Plasmodium species, i.e., Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale. Every developmental stage of the parasite is very well represented, from the classical morphologic forms to the parasite stages that are difficult to interpret and may pose diagnostic problems. The book also briefly presents accidental parasites or bacteria that can occur in the human blood, such as Babesia microti and other Babesia species, microfilariae, and Borrelia species. In addition to the photomicrographs, the book contains concise texts describing highly useful information on the life cycle, biology, epidemiology, and diagnosis of human malaria. With regard to the diagnosis, the authors have provided an excellent review of the techniques for preparing well stained blood films.
