Reviews for Microsporidia: Pathogens of Opportunity

This book represents a massive undertaking, involved 47contributors, is splendidly produced and illustrated, and is surelydestined to be the reference on the phylum for the foreseeablefuture. It really opened my eyes to the enormous diversity andimportance of these newcomers to kingdom Fungi, and Ihave no doubt that most mycologists will have a similarreaction.
