Product Description
Review
‘… the style is exemplary and there are many felicitous phrases and comparisons which help to lighten the text and make the whole thing a delight to read … This book certainly fulfils admirably its primary function of providing an introductory undergraduate textbook and gives a more comprehensive and clearer exposition of almost all aspects of animal parasitology than many other considerably more expensive hardback textbooks.’ Biologist
‘This is a straightforwardly written textbook which successfully introduces the undergraduate and the nonspecialist to the more arcane literature. It presents the material clearly, interestingly and with a typically British sense of humour, all of it which makes it a pleasure to read.’ Lorenzo Savioli, Bulletin of the World Health Organization
‘This book is a wonderful introduction to the field of parasitology.’ International Journal for Parasitology
‘… a well-rounded view of parasitology.’ BIOSIS
Product Description
This introductory undergraduate textbook provides a concise, clear and affordable overview of parasite biology for students and non-specialists, to equip them for approaching more technical and detailed literature. Using examples from all groups of animal parasites, the text considers the various stages of a parasite’s life cycle from finding hosts to surviving within the host. The significance of damage caused by parasites and approaches to control are discussed, giving the book a well-rounded approach for those new to the subject or revising key points. A key feature of the book is its comparative rather than systematic approach. Suitable for all introductory parasite courses in biology, zoology and human and veterinary medicine.
