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 note covers sanitary
parasitology, Factors influencing the fate of helminth eggs, Occurrence
and removal of helminth eggs from raw wastewater and sludge, Helminth
eggs as indicator in wastewater and sludge, Microbiological quality
guidelines for wastewater and sludge application in agriculture,
Laboratory skills, Methods for detection and enumeration of helminth
eggs in wastewater and sludge, Determination of helminth eggs viability,
Monitoring and surveillance of the reclaimed wastewater and sludge for
agriculture use, Health aspects for use of reclaimed wastewater in
agriculture and aquaculture.
This
lecture note covers introduction to parasitology, Overview of
parasitology, protozoan parasites, Protozoan Parasites, Helminth
parasites and arthropod parasites.
This
book emphasizes past and current research efforts about principles of
natural control of major parasites affecting humans, animals, and crops. It
discusses and updates information about three major topics of natural
remedies.
Parasitic diseases are considered nowadays as an
important public health problem due to the high morbidity and mortality
rates registered in the world. These diseases result in more severe
consequences for the social order of tropical and subtropical countries
because many of them have low economic income that makes it even more
difficult to design and implement health control programs.
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.
