Download or read book Parasitology written by Eric Loker and published by Garland Science. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasitology: A Conceptual Approach focuses on the conceptual basis of parasitology, with the goal of providing students with an enriched view of parasites and their biology. Concentrating on concepts will enable readers to gain a broader perspective that will increase their ability to think critically about all kinds of parasitic associations. The interfaces between the study of parasitism and prominent biological disciplines such as biodiversity, immunology, ecology, evolution, conservation biology, and disease control are highlighted. Studying individual parasites is an essential part of parasitology so Parasitology: A Conceptual Approach contains an appendix which provides a concise overview of the biology of important human and veterinary parasites. End-of-chapter questions are provided, as is an instructor manual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasites and parasitic morbidity and/or disease seem to be a birth right of the tropics. This is a sequel to greaterbiodiversity fragmented in relation to biogeography and climatic shifts congenial to nocturnal enemies of humans,like mosquitoes. In fact in some cases parasite strategies have thwarted attempts of the scientific community toeradicate them. The best example running its course now is any kind of flu. Flu is no simple single strain strategy.At the base of parasitic diseases, man has recognized a dichotomy namely, animal diseases and diseases of man butthere may be links between humans and animal (zoonoses).We owe a great deal to the British Empire in the expansion of knowledge of tropical diseases especially ofpeninsular India with more or less warm climate plenty of room for growth of intermediate host like Anopheles(malaria), Culex (filaria) and Aedes (dengue). The School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene at London is especiallyinterested in this direction. We have at the present time many insitutions in India dealing with public health problems.Schools of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta, several laboratories of preventive medicine and more recently immunologylaboratories. Likewise, there has been a growth of institutions dealing with veterinary medicine and animal health.We are just begining to understand what is known as zoonoses. That is parasites which normally infect and developin animals can under certain circumstances infect humans and thrive with as much ease. India can now boast ofbeing free of smallpox and plague but bad hygienic conditions are not allowing the control of malaria, dengue,filaria, typhoid, leprosy, etc. Dilution of efforts because of population explosion is the cause. A multiprolongedattack 1. Treatment, 2. Eradication of intermediate hosts (like mosquitoes) 3. Preventive measures (Prophylaxis)specific to each parasitic infection becomes a must, education is necessary.The aim of the present books is to provide a brief but reasonably comprehensive information to the medicalstudent as well as students of medical laboratory techniques. To be a comprehensive parasitologist of some worthand meaning the persent book has been designed. Equal emphasis is given to microbes and the protozoan andmetazoan parasites. Two pertinent remarks can be quoted. Stoll 1947” had said that at any army center the medicalorricer never heard of bancroftian filariasis (the disease) while soldiers saw it with dismay elephantiasis (thesymptom) Philip 1987 had said that there is always some thing new under the parasitological sun.

Book excerpt: The history of tropical medicine is as dramatic as the story of humankind. It has its own myths and legends, including tales of epidemics that destroyed whole civilizations. Today, with silent stealth, tropical diseases still claim more lives than all the current wars combined. Having had the privilege of working throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as in the great medical centers of Europe and the United States, the author presents the details essential for understanding pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, therapy, and prevention of the major tropical diseases. The text, now in its eighth edition, has been used for half a century by medical students, practicing physicians, and public health workers around the world.

Download or read book Markell and Voge s Medical Parasitology written by David T. John, MSPH, PhD and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2006-01-27 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a new two-color design, Markell and Voge's Medical Parasitology has an updated and fresh look that highlights the comprehensive material students have trusted for over 40 years. Completely redrawn line drawings and improved halftones provide visual examples related directly to the textual material. The content explores the etiologic agents of human disease belonging to the animal kingdom: protozoa, helminths (worms), and arthropods (insects and spiders), all of which are a significant cause of, or link to illness encountered both in tropical and temperate environments. In addition to providing detailed descriptions of these agents, this text deals with the clinical diseases they cause, their modes of acquisition, transmission and epidemiology, and their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Ten-page insert with full color plates of various parasites, eggs, and life cycles provides students with real-life examples of how parasites and their associated material appear in order to facilitate their identification in the laboratory. Summary Tables appear at the ends of the parasite/disease chapters to summarize the main features of the chapter and to present the salient information from the chapter to allow students better comprehension of the material. Life cycle drawings show progression of parasites from infancy to adult so students can recognize parasites at each stage of life. Disease distribution maps depict the global distribution of key parasites to help students see the global impact that various parasites have. The text explores arthropods both as parasites in their own right and as vectors or intermediate hosts for other parasites so students can understand the direct and indirect impact that they have on health. New two-color design gives the material a fresh look and highlights important details in illustrations. Improved illustrations include all line drawings redrawn with a second color added, as well as improved quality in the halftones. Thorough revision reflecting all the most recent research findings and the most cutting-edge techniques for diagnosis and treatment. Significant change in authorship with David John taking the role of lead editor, and with a new co-editor, William Petri, a proven expert, writer, and speaker in the field of parasitology.
