Description
With a new two-color design, Markell and Voge's Medical Parasitology has an updated and fresh look that highlights the comprehensive material
students have trusted for over 40 years. Completely redrawn line drawings and improved halftones provide visual examples related directly
to the textual material. The content explores the etiologic agents of human disease belonging to the animal kingdom: protozoa, helminths
(worms), and arthropods (insects and spiders), all of which are a significant cause of, or link to illness encountered both in tropical
and temperate environments. In addition to providing detailed descriptions of these agents, this text deals with the clinical diseases
they cause, their modes of acquisition, transmission and epidemiology, and their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
