More about the book
Focusing on the essential species of parasites affecting humans, this illustrated textbook covers their distribution, morphology, lifecycle, and associated diseases. It emphasizes protozoan and helminthic infections while briefly addressing medical entomology in relation to disease epidemiology. The text distinguishes between anthropoparasites, which infect only humans, and anthropozoonotic parasites that can also affect animals. It explores the complexities of monoxenous and heteroxenous species, detailing their life cycles and the roles of intermediate and definitive hosts in their development.
