This book provides a detailed description of the key role that parasites play in the pathogenesis of diseases, explores the manifestation of symptoms and diagnosis, and offers prevention and treatment strategies to counteract parasitic infections.
An introduction by the editor is followed by chapters from various authors covering parasitic diseases in specific organs and organ systems. The book also provides an overview on the diagnostic evaluation of parasitic diseases. Parasite control, travel management, therapeutic measures, and disease control strategies round out the discussion.
With contributions from experts in the field, this book serves as a useful resource to researchers, academics, and postgraduates who wish to expand their knowledge on parasitic diseases, diagnosis, and treatment, and as a reference for scientists looking to develop new antiparasitic drugs.
