If the information contained in this edition provides help to those in the field of microbiology, I will have succeeded in passing on this composite knowledge to the next generation of students and teachers.

Special thanks go to Sharon Belkin for her additional illustrations for this edition. I also thank Ronald Neafie from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology for providing many photographs to illustrate several areas of the book, particularly the information on histological identification of parasites, and Herman Zaiman for providing slides that he has prepared and/or edited from many contributors worldwide. Very special thanks go to the group at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the use of many of their clinical parasitology images; these images are invaluable to the microbiology community and include images contributed to CDC by many others, as well.

I would like to thank members of the editorial staff of ASM Press, especially Ellie Tupper; they are outstanding professionals and made my job not only challenging but fun.

Above all, my very special thanks go to my late husband, John, for his love and support for the many projects that I have been involved in over the years. I could never have undertaken these challenges without his help and understanding, a true partnership.
