This book uses the most current taxonomy and terminology of snakes (Uetz, 2005) and summarizes for the reader all the current knowledge, through 2008, about all coccidia species ever reported from serpentines. With about 8 million homes in the USA that have snakes as pets, their owners and veterinarians alike should welcome this easily-read and informative book. Special chapters on Sarcocystis and Cryptosporidium in snakes, along with a chapter on chemotherapy and treatment of coccidiosis in snakes are especially useful. Also included are both host-parasite and parasite-host tables and a glossary of the more technical termsfor quick cross-referencing.
