Authors:
Written in simple narrative style which makes it accessible to an audience not familiar with parasitology
Grips the young adventurous audience yet introduces concepts of the variety of parasite species and the diseases they cause
Discusses life cycles and modes of infection with reference to topical current issues and mixed with first person descriptions and travel anecdotes
Light touch with humor yet scientifically accurate
