Abstract
This third volume of a four-volume series on parasitic protozoa will be of interest to workers in tropical medicine and clinical parasitology, mainly because it includes Toxoplasma and the plasmodia of man and other animals. The chapter on Toxoplasma, written by J. P. Dubey, includes also Hammondia, Sarcocystis, Frenkelia (misspelled in the table of contents), Besnoitia, Isospora, and Levineia, a new genus for the species familiarly known as Isospora felis and Isospora rivolta. Terminology recently introduced for structures and stages in the life-cycles of these parasites is defined and used in the descriptions. The taxonomy of the group is summarized at the generic level only.Five of the book's ten chapters and half of its pages deal with the Plasmodium species found in reptiles (by Stephen Ayala), birds (by Thomas Seed and Reginald Manwell), rodents (by Richard Carter and Carter Diggs), non-human primates (by W. E. Collins and M. Aikawa), and man (by Karl Rieckmann and Paul Silverman.
