Human Parasitology, Fifth Edition
emphasizes a medical perspective that also incorporates 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, the book will not only appeal to students
interested in the medical aspects of parasitology, but also those who
are interested in gaining a solid foundation in the biology of
parasites. This updated edition has been fully revised to integrate the
most recent molecular discoveries about mosquitoes, ticks and other
arthropods as vectors, along with the most effective therapeutic
regimens for each.
- Integrates the most recent molecular discoveries on mosquitoes, ticks and other arthropods
- Features
expanded coverage of the evolution of parasitism and an extensive
update on the immunology of parasite-host interactions
- Offers an enhanced art program that features lifecycle illustrations and additional SEM and TEM micrographs
- Provides a New Host Immune Response section for each organism
- Includes a special section on the impact of genomics
