Focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of patients with fungal infections. This book presents recommendations for understanding, controlling, and preventing fungal infections based upon underlying principles of epidemiology and infection control policy, pathogenesis, histopathology, and laboratory diagnosis and anti fungal therapy.
Parasitology is the study of parasites, their hosts, and the relationship between them. Many molecular tools have been developed to determine genotypes and subgenotypes of parasites. This book describes the use of DNA technology in epidemiological investigations for parasitic research. It summarises novel findings on malaria liver stage biology.
Reviews the epidemiology, public health significance and shifts, control (activities, successes, setbacks), persisting challenges (sanitation, universal coverage of health services, health-related behavior) of the key parasitic diseases in Southeast Asia. This book also discusses the approaches for the discovery and control of helminthic diseases.
Contains comprehensive reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. This book includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. It also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications.
Helps you learn how to perform the clinical procedures needed to collect specimens and obtain diagnostically useful parasitic samples to provide the results for patients. This title features descriptions of look-alike parasites that help you hone your skills and prepare for situations you may encounter in practice.
Recounts the true and harrowing tales of the author's adventures with parasites, and in the process introduces readers to the intimately interwoven lives of host and parasite. This title leads readers on a journey into the bizarre yet oddly beautiful world of parasites.
Emphasizes the medical aspects of human parasitology, while incorporating functional morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunology to enhance appreciation of the implications of parasitism. This book is intended for students interested in medical aspects of Parasitology and for those who require a foundation in the biology of parasites.
