The editors justify the production of this book on the grounds that (i) it is inexpensive and, (ii) that the topics dealt with are covered in unusual detail.

Histopathologic foci of damaged nervous tissue are found in a diffuse and irregular distribution. Neuronal parasitism, with periganglionitis and degene...
