Each chapter includes a story about how an animals or insect might become infected and a description of what happens after infection. With large photographs and cool graphics this book is a horrendous pleasure to read!
For example, there's a fungus that grows inside a fly until it kills the fly and fills it with spores. Then the spores explode out of the dead fly to infect others. Gross!
Several chapters also include information about scientists who discovered or study the parasites. This book includes a glossary, source notes, and suggestions for further reading/viewing. I highly recommend Rebecca Johnson's latest book!
