"Human Parasitology" emphasizes the medical aspects of the topic, 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 encyclopaedic treatises, "Human Parasitology" appeals to students interested not only in the medical aspects of Parasitology but also to those who require a solid foundation in the biology of parasites. It has an updated and expanded reference section. It contains a new chapter on Immunology and additional SEM and TEM micrographs. It features professionally drawn life cycle illustrations and addition of Host Immune Response section for each organism.

CONCISE; WITH A WIDE PARASITOLOGY SCOPE
21 Mar 2003
By reviewer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This "Human Parasitology" text provides a balanced introductory view, as it concerned the interactive association between various parasites and their hosts. Its concise and reader-friendly format is a big plus: as it ensured that anyone who reads it will understand the message.
This book is clinically relevant. Its carefully selected contents were designed in such a way that will appeal to students of Zoology, Medicine, Veterinary medicine, Microbiology, Medical laboratory science, and Agriculture.
Discussed in details are various intestinal parasites like: Nematodes, Cestodes, and Trematodes. It also took care of many pathogenic protozoa like: Plasmodium and Entamoeba species. And, there are well-written chapters, which thoroughly analyzed both the Laboratory Diagnosis of Parasitic Diseases and the capabilities of various Antiparasitic Agents.

The book was practically brand new, just some normal wear and tear on the hardback cover. No writing or highlighting either. Overall, good product.
