Contents:

Symbiosis and parasitism -- Parasite-host interactions -- General characteristics of the euprotista (protozoa) -- Visceral protozoa I: rhizopods (amoebae) and ciliphorans -- Visceral protozoa II: flagellates -- Blood and tissue protozoa I: hemoflagellates -- Blood and tissue protozoa II: human malaria -- Blood and tissue protozoa III: other protists -- General characteristics of the trematoda -- Visceral flukes -- Blood flukes -- General characteristics of the cestoidea -- Intestinal tapeworms -- Extraintestinal tapeworms -- General characteristics of the nematoda -- Intestinal nematodes -- Blood and tissue nematodes -- Arthropods as vectors -- Appendix A: Drugs for parasitic infections: partial list of generic and brand names -- Appendix B: Current chemotherapeutic regimens.

Summary: This edition emphasizes a medical perspective while incorporating functional morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunology to enhance appreciation of the diverse implications of parasitism. Bridging the gap between classical clinical parasitology texts and traditional encyclopedic treatises. This book appeals to students interested in the medical aspects of parasitology and those who require a solid foundation in the biology of parasites. This 5th edition has been fully revised to integrate the most recent molecular discoveries regarding host-parasite relationships as well as the most effective therapeutic regimens. -- Back cover.
