Chapters are divided by arthropod groups (true bugs, flies, fleas, and ticks), and include descriptions, hosts, host locations, sources of infestation and life cycles. The text also includes a chapter on laboratory
procedures for the herpetoculturist, and a bibliography of more than 430 references. |

"$I…an easy to use, resourceful guide for anyone working with reptiles, either professionally or as a hobbyist…a valuable reference tool, especially for identification of flies and ticks. A must
for anyone working with reptiles.$I"--Diane Callaway, $IAnimal Keepers' Forum$I, Vol. 28, No. 1, 2001
$I"I opened this book wondering if it is really needed. The wealth of genera and species covered and
the comprehensive data quickly convinced me that it is. It's nicely produced and by today's standards is inexpensive. Authors and publishers are to be congratulated.$I--Roger Avery, School of Biological Sciences,
Bristol University, $IParasitology$I, (2001), 122, 218. |
