- Description
This textbook is designed especially for the upper-division courses in general parasitology. It emphasizes principles, illustrating them with material on the biology, physiology, morphology, and ecology of the major parasites of humans and domestic animals. Other parasites are included as well, when they are of unusual biological interest. This is not a diagnostic manual for medical students.
- Features
-
Student learning outcomes are provided for each chapter, which can be used by instructors for assessment.
-
Updated Chapter Content including but not limited to:
- New Content is Chapter 2 covering fascinating material on the role played by parasites in food webs and ecosystems
- Chapter 3 has been rewritten, reorganized, and expanded, now including a section introducing antimicrobial peptides (defensins) and Toll-like receptors and tables listing the many ways that protozoan and helminth parasites evade host defenses. The discussion of Treg and dendritic cells has also been expanded as well as a section added on the microbial deprivation hypothesis relating parasitism to immune system development.
-
This text continues to be the only text on the market that includes information on the latest findings and research on Nematomorpha in Chapter 31.
A detailed listing of updates to this text can be found in the Preface.
-
Flexible Organization The first three chapters delineate important definitions and principles in evolution, ecology, immunology, and pathology of parasites and parasitic infections. Chapters on specific groups follow, beginning with protozoa and ending with arthropods. Presentation of each group is not predicated on students having first studied groups presented in prior chapters; therefore, the order can vary as an instructor desires.
-
"Parasitology for Fun and Profit" Found in Chapter 1, this section emphasizes how students can earn an income while studying the fascinating world of parasites.
-
Study Aids guide students to a clear understanding of the topics
- Essential terms, many of which are defined in a complete glossary, are boldfaced in the text to provide emphasis and ease in reviewing. In response to student requests, we again provide pronunciation guides for glossary entries.
- Numbered references at the end of each chapter make supporting data and further study easily accessible.
- Clear labeling makes all illustrations approachable and self-explanatory to the student.
