Bøger i Advances in Parasitology serien

Includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosomes. This series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape thinking and applications.

Studies have been conducted on various parasitoid species, and almost all different approaches of the biology of parasitoids have been studied on parasitoids of Drosophila. This book synthesizes the different fields of research that can be explored. It reports techniques and methods adapted to the study of larval parasitoid species.

Contains reviews in different areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. This book includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes.

Evolutionary theory has a key role to play in the interpretation of host and parasitic dynamics and the design and application of disease control programmes. This title collects articles from scientists from different fields of research and/or disease control, but with a common interest in studying the biology of a variety of parasitic diseases.

Provides a synthesis of complex biology, quantitative analysis, space technology and practical applications, focused on solving real epidemiological problems on a global scale. This book presents a comprehensive guide to using the methods of surveillance from satellites, including analysing spatial data within geographical information systems.

This collection of review articles in the field of contemporary parasitology includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as typanosomiasis and scabies. Also covered are more traditional areas such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history.

This volume is part of a series which includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as typanosomiasis and scabies, and more traditional areas such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications.

Echinococcus and Echinococcosis, Part B, Volume 96 presents a complete synthesis on what is known about the parasitic cestode echinococcus and the disease it causes, echinococcosis (Hydatid Disease), demonstrating that, in addition to its medical, veterinary, and economic significance, it is also an intriguing biological phenomenon. Both parts build on the success of a previous volume-Echinococcus and Hydatid Disease, edited by R.C.A. Thompson and A.J. Lymbery, and published by CAB International-that details the major advances that have taken place since its release. The book remains the only comprehensive account embracing virtually all aspects of echinococcus and the disease it causes. The links between laboratory knowledge and field applications are emphasized throughout the volumes. Consequently, research workers, teachers, students of parasitology, clinicians, and field workers will find this work an indispensable source of information.Presents the expertise of contributors who are renowned in the fieldCovers all aspects of echinococcus and echinococcosis, from basic and applied biology, through diagnosis and control, to clinical aspectsExamines major advances in the field since the last volume was published
