Hematological Insights and Clinical Implications of Platelet Functions in Lymphatic Filariasis is a groundbreaking resource that delves into the impact of filarial parasites on platelet functions in humans. This comprehensive work explores the intricate signaling and immunological pathways affected by these interactions, filling a significant gap in the existing literature. The book is particularly valuable for researchers, scientists, and clinicians involved in the management and study of lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis. With limited prior information on the interplay between human platelets and filarial parasites, this text offers a fresh perspective that could enhance patient management strategies. By understanding these interactions, healthcare professionals may unlock new avenues for effective treatment and prevention of lymphatic filariasis. This book is essential for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the disease and contribute to its potential elimination.
- Offers information to understanding how filarial parasites alter platelet functions could lead to novel biomarkers for diagnosing lymphatic filariasis
- Provides insights into how platelet function could inform the development of therapies that specifically target platelet interactions with filarial parasites, possibly leading to more effective treatments
- Encourages collaboration across fields such as immunology, hematology, and parasitology, potentially leading to innovative solutions for disease management and elimination
Basic science researchers working in the area of platelet biology and hemostasis; hematologists; Basic science researchers working the area of filariasis, parasitic and vector borne diseases; practicing microbiologists, pathologists and clinical biochemists; clinicians involved in management of lymphatic filariasis patients
