The Parasite Chronicles My Lifelong Odyssey Among the Parasites that Cause Human Disease
The Parasite Chronicles
Stillness in motion Dawn glows, and waking sky forsakes The fading star’s slow lingerings. Silent, misty, by the lakes, A white crane spreads its wings.

To my parents whose sacrifices made this journey possible; to my wife whose loving companionship made this journey a joy; and to my daughters and grandchildren who made this journey worthwhile.
