Download or read book The Imaging of Tropical Diseases written by Philip E.S. Palmer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-11-08 with total page 914 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume describes a further wide variety of parasitic infections and other diseases,including benign and malignant tumors. Some are widespread, others re- stricted to specific geographical or climatic regions; almost all affect countless patients, some with generalized illnesses, others with limited involvement which may nonetheless be serious for the individual. The book contains numerous images at the important stages of the diseases, with photographs and histopathological sections to help understand the clinical progress, and often the response to treatment. These two volumes will be of great value to all who care for patients with tropical diseases, clinicians as well as radiologists.
Download or read book Fish Diseases and Disorders written by P. T. K. Woo and published by CABI. This book was released on 2006-06-23 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish is the principal source of protein for people in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. While most fish are caught from nature, aquaculture or fish farming is now making a significant contribution to total fish production. More intensive conditions of aquaculture often result in a higher incidence of fish diseases and disorders. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of 3 new chapters and 4 of the original chapters have new authors.
Download or read book Digenetic Trematodes written by Rafael Toledo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digenetic trematodes constitute a major helminth group that parasitize humans and animals, and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The diseases caused by trematodes have been neglected for years, especially as compared with other parasitic diseases. However, the geographical limits and the populations at risk are currently expanding and changing in relation to factors such as growing international markets, improved transportation systems, and demographic changes. This has led to a growing international interest in trematode infections, although factors such as the difficulties entailed in the diagnosis, the complexity of human and agricultural practices, the lack of assessments of the economic costs or the limited number of effective drugs are preventing the development of control measures of these diseases in humans and livestock. In-depth studies are needed to clarify the current epidemiology of these helminth infections and to identify new and specific targets for both effective diagnosis and treatments. The main goal of this book is to present the major trematodes and their corresponding diseases in the framework of modern parasitology, considering matters such as the application of novel techniques and analysis of data in the context of host-parasite interactions and to show applications of new techniques and concepts for the studies on digenetic trematodes. This is an ideal book for parasitologists, microbiologists, zoologists, immunologists, professional of public health workers, clinicians and graduate and post-graduate students.

Download or read book Tropical Pathology written by H. Spencer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General pathology works nomothetically, whereas specific pathology works idiographically. Modern pathological anatomy on the other hand seeks to rise above the level of merely gathering data and to proceed to a practical knowledge of defined pathological aspects and patterns. jEAN MARTIN CHARCOT's con ception of the entite morbide as the abstract basis of nosologically independent phenomena is paradigmatically corroborated in an especially impressive way by the study of tropical diseases. And so the idea suggested itself that we should present the main pathological patterns from tht; fielq. of tropical pathology with particular reference to their interconnection. We s~on came to the firm con clusion that such a compilation could be success_iully ~undertaken only by a pathologist from the English-speaking world. The. classic practical knowledge of our British colleagues, which has matured in world-wide experience, would be bound to find its ideal verification here. And so we turned for help to our friend Prof. WALTER PAGEL (Dr. med., Dr. h. c. Basle, Dr. h. c. Heidelberg) in London. He immediately referred us to Prof. HERBERT SPENCER. That we managed to enlist the help of Professor SPENCER is entirely due to Professor PAGEL's kind offices. We owe the fact that the undertak ing has been completed in relatively so short a time to Professor SPENCER's exceptional knowledge both of his subject and of the field-workers themselves.
Download or read book Trematode Infections and Diseases of Man and Animals written by V. Kumar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades new data on the distribution, pathogenicity, diagnosis, treatment and control of trematode infections and diseases in man and animals, including zoonotic trematodiasis, have emerged from various geographical regions. These new data are compiled in this book together with existing information to fulfil the present need. Seven major trematode-induced disease groups, namely, schistosomiasis, paragonimiasis, fascioliasis and fasciolopsiasis, dicrocoeliasis and eurytremiasis, clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis, paramphistomiasis, and diseases due to intestinal trematode infections are dealt with in this book. These diseases still rank as a major cause of morbidity and mortality - both in man and in livestock - mainly in the tropics, and contribute to the socio-economic problems. Many of these diseases are also zoonoses, some major and others potential. The intended readership of this treatise include postgraduate students of medical and veterinary parasitology, research workers as well as medical practitioners, veterinarians, tropical diseases specialists, veterinary public health specialists and teachers concerned with trematode infections and trematodiasis of man and animals.

Download or read book Zoonoses written by Rolf Bauerfeind and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoonoses are a persistent threat to the global human health Today, more than 200 diseases occurring in humans and animals are known to be mutually transmitted. Classical infectious diseases, such as rabies, plague, and yellow fever, have not been eradicated despite major efforts. New zoonotic diseases are on the increase due global conditions such as overpopulation, wars, and food scarcity, which facilitate human contact with rodents, stray animals, and their parasites. In addition, humans are unwittingly becoming accidental hosts and new links in an infectious chain by engaging in activities such as survival training, which involves camping in open areas and consumption of raw or insufficiently cooked food. Zoonotic infections cause a variety of symptoms that often do not provide clear evidence of a known disease. Zoonoses, Fourth Edition, describes most occurring worldwide zoonosis and facilitates the identification, diagnosis and treatment of zoonotic infections. Written by a team of doctors, medical microbiologists and veterinarians, this completely, revised edition covers all aspects of the epidemiology and prevention of zoonotic diseases through clear descriptions of various illnesses. Specifically, this fourth edition covers zoonosis caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites infections caused by animal bites infections and intoxications by animal foods Iatrogenic transmission of zoonotic pathogens Zoonoses is an indispensable reference for clinicians and laboratorians.
