This
lecture note covers introduction to parasitology, Overview of
parasitology, protozoan parasites, Protozoan Parasites, Helminth
parasites and arthropod parasites.
Parasites
are still an important threat to our global health and economy, and
represent an important branch of infectious diseases. This note is designed
to provide students of microbiology and biology with a basic understanding
of classical and modern parasitology.
Parasitism is a kind of symbiosis,
a close and persistent long-term biological interaction between the parasite
and its host. Topics covered includes: Etymology, Evolutionary strategies,
Parasitic castrators, Parasitoids, Transmission strategies, Hyperparasitism,
Social parasitism, Brood parasitism, Kleptoparasitism, Sexual parasitism,
Adelphoparasitism, Taxonomic range, Host defences, Evolutionary ecology.
This lecture note
is devoted to providing general aspects of parasitology in addition to
covering human parasites in two major groups -the protozoa and helminths
including their distribution, habitat, morphology, life cycle, pathogenicity,
prevention and control, laboratory diagnosis and their relevance to
Ethiopia. It has also appendices, which discuss the collection of laboratory
specimens, preservatives of stool sample, frequently used parasitological
diagnostic methods and reagent preparation.
Parasitology is
an established discipline that covers a wide area of subjects, ranging from
the basics to the advanced and applied aspects. The entire book is based on
the findings of various studies performed by different authors, comprising
reviews and original scientific papers. Topics covered includes: Tools for
Trans-Splicing Drug Interference Evaluation in Kinetoplastid, Innovation of
the Parasitic Cycle of Coccidioides spp, Biological Control of Parasites,
Electrocardiography as a Diagnostic Method for Chagas Disease in Patients
and Experimental Models, Soft Ticks as Pathogen Vectors: Distribution,
Surveillance and Control,Parasitic Nematodes of some Insects from Manipur,
India.
This book covers the following topics: The Ameba, The
