From the reviews:

“This is a reference for surgical pathologists on infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. … The book would be most suitable for general anatomical pathologists, as well as pathology residents. … Each chapter discusses a different species or organism with multiple morphologic, high quality pictures. … The numerous pictures in each chapter are the highlight of the book. The multiple morphologic pictures with accompanying short text provide a quick and easy to use reference for surgical pathologists.” (Catherine Lewis, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2010)
