Medical Parasitology: A Self-Instructional Text

• Detailed life cycle drawings for each parasite.
• Color photos throughout the chapters and in an Atlas that groups related organisms for ease of comparison.
• Case studies encouraging critical thinking.
• Review questions after the discussion of each parasite.
• Post-tests providing a thorough review of the chapter.
• Laboratory procedures.

• New organization of protozoa! Four shorter chapters now separately cover each of the major protozoan groups: Amoebida, Intestinal Flagellates and Ciliates, the Hemoflagellates Trypanosoma spp. and Leishmania spp., and Sporozoa.
• Expanded art program that includes new photos of common artifacts, blood parasites, and arthropods.
• New information added on parasites that have become medically relevant, such as Plasmodium knowlessi and the Asian tick.
• Updated coverage of the symptomatology, pathology, and treatment of parasitic diseases.
