内容説明
Worldwide, the numbers of people suffering and dying from parasitic diseases are overwhelming, with more than 100 million cases and 1 million deaths each year from malaria alone. Despite the magnitude of the problem and the importance of the parasites that cause opportunistic infections among persons with HIV/AIDS, medical schools in the United States, Canada, and other developed countries consistently reduce the amount of time spent on parasitic diseases in the curricu lum. As a result most medical students receive limited information about these diseases, and are inadequately prepared to diagnose or treat them as physicians. This problem is too large to be resolved within the time available for parasitology in the medical school curriculum; at most, students can be acquainted with the salient features of the medically important parasites. Likewise, the traditional isolation of parasitology from the rest of the curriculum (consistent with its exclu sion from most microbiology texts) is another unresolved problem. In my opinion, this is why most physicians are unable to think about the differential diagnosis of parasitic diseases in the same way that they routinely balance the probabilities of malignancy, cardiovascular, renal, and pulmonary disease vs other infectious diseases. To resolve these problems, relevant paradigms from parasitology must be used in the teaching of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and immu nology."

内容説明
This compact handbook on parasitology has been revised to contain over 350 illustrations and comprehensive information of interest to both practicing clinicians and medical students. The biology of parasites and their pathological consequences are dealt with chapter by chapter, divided according to the type of parasite, eg nematodes, cestoidea, protozoa. Each chapter identifies the individual parasite, recommends treatment and suggests approaches to patient management. The text aims to broaden the reader's understanding of medical parasitology by stressing disease, host response, and both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
