彩色书刊是人人都喜欢的那种书，但似乎很少有人配得上奢侈的彩色印刷所需的费用。这只阿特拉斯母鹿。~不属于这一类，它的格式，布局和丰富的材料包含，以及值得其适度的价格。这并不是一张随手可得的漂亮照片的积累，而是一张精心编辑的叙述，放大了寄生虫在马解剖学不同部位发生的整洁图表。摄影作品令人印象深刻，其中许多是专门为这本书制作的。寄生虫学家也不应该错误地把重点放在马寄生虫上，这本书将作为任何医学或兽医寄生虫学课程的一流教材。几个世纪以来，马一直与人类密切相关;它们运送我们，帮助我们耕地，并经常控制我们的军事历史。尽管有内部燃烧引擎，但它们在许多由Draschia引起的肿瘤样病变中仍然发挥着重要作用Draschia与Habronema非常密切相关，但不同之处在于它深深地埋在胃壁中。它引起粘膜下嗜酸性粒细胞肉芽肿，这些肉芽肿合并，然后发展成大的纤维团块，可以达到高尔夫球的大小。在这幅图中，蝇幼虫是如此存在，但它们并不参与这种病理过程。
Colour Atlases are the kind of books everyone would like, but few seem to merit the expense demanded by lavish colour printing. This atlas doe.~ not fall into that category its format, layout, and the wealth of material contained, well merit its modest price. This is no accumulation of whatever nice pictures came readily to hand, but a carefully compiled narrative amplifying neat diagrams of parasite occurrence in different parts of the horse anatomy. Photographic creclits are impressive, and many were specially commissioned for the book. Nor should parasitologists mistake its focus on equine parasites this book would serve as firstclass teaching material for any course on medical or veterinary parasitology. Horses have been closely associated with man for centuries; they have transported us, helped plough our fields, and often controlled our military history. And in spite of the internal combu'~tion engine, they retain fundamental roles in many Tumour-like lesions caused by Draschia Draschia is very closely related to Habronema but differs in that it buries itself deeply in the stomach wall. It causes submucosal eosinophil granulomas that coalesce and later develop into large fibrous masses that can reach the size of a golf-ball. Bot-fly larvae are a/so present in this illustration but they do not contribute to this pathological process.
