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
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.
Web Atlas of Medical Parasitology aims to provide educational
materials for medical students primarily, but professional workers in
medical or paramedical fields may also refer to this site covering the
significant parasites in the world.
WormBook is a comprehensive online review of C. elegans
biology, containing over 100 original, peer-reviewed chapters on a wide
range of topics related to the biology of C. elegans and related nematodes;
as well as WormMethods, a collection of laboratory methods and protocols
useful for nematode researchers.
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.
