This text is the gold standard for a reason. As a medical student and masters student I can appreciate the depth and breadth of this book. It is truly comprehensive. If I had to make any critique, its that the autor may on occasion ramble on about somewhat geographically diverse and at times overwhelming studies on a particular disease. Don’t get me wrong, this is pretty much what tropical medicine is all about: understanding the complex ecology of infectious diseases. It can just be a bit much at times. The figures and photos are fantastic and the book is organized in both a pathogen and then clinically oriented fashion.
