Overview

Updated and much expanded, the Second Edition of Parasitic Protozoa is designed to be useful to physicians, veterinarians, and research scientists concerned with diseases caused by protozoa in man, and in domestic and wild animals including fish, mollusks and insects, as well as the more commonly considered vertebrate animals. Each section contains information on disease pathogens, treatment, diagnosis, and epidemiology of the diseases caused by the various protozoans. The book is not limited to these medically-oriented subjects, but treats taxonomy, morphology, and metabolism of the organisms in such a way as to be of interest to scientists and graduate students working in the field of protozoology. The entire edition, published in ten volumes, is arranged so that subjects of common interest occupy individual volumes.

Booknews

Incorporating information gleaned since the first edition (1977), every chapter of this text has been rewritten. The original aim has been retained: to provide physicians, veterinarians and researchers with a broad review of knowledge that has a stable shelf life. Covers the rumen protozoa, Blantidium coli, parasitic amoebas of the intestinal tract, free-living amoebae, and the opalines. Claims the addition of a new chapter, "The Nature of Protozoa," which does not appear in contents. Generously illustrated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
