This
edition also features incorporation of parasitology, which has been
deftly included to add value to the book. Unnecessary details of various
parasites have been excluded. This obviates the reading of a separate
book on parasitology.

 

The
text is presented in a simple and lucid manner. It is fully illustrated
with colour and computer-drawn diagrams, clinical photographs and
photomicrographs. These make the book attractively colourful and the
readers can have a far better understanding of the biology of
microorganisms.

New
illustrations have been added at various places for in-depth
comprehension of the topics. For quick review and recapitulation, key
facts and multiple choice questions have been added at the end of each
chapter. To help the students perform better in the examination, the
competencies expected from the students after reading various chapters
have been outlined in the beginning of the chapters.
