Description
Knowledge in the field of parasitology must be kept at a high level and up to date in order to fight a parasitosis as quickly and effectively as possible. Encyclopedia of Parasitology, 4th Edition: With 1,643 Figures and 487 Tables contributes to these goals. It comprises a number of entries, consisting of both in-depth essays and definitions; the content has been improved even more by adding additional tables and high-quality figures; and the extensive linking between definitions and essays facilitates information within a minimum of time. This e-Encyclopedia contains clearly structured essays in alphabetical order with extensive cross-references between definitions and related entries. International contributors, who are well-known specialists in their fields, give a comprehensive review of all parasites and therapeutic strategies in veterinarian and human parasitology. All important parasites of humans and animals are presented in detail. Each parasite has its own large “chapter” with all subheadings (life cycle, morphology, treatment…). Furthermore all important parasitological and medical terms are explained as separate topics and are cross-linked to the chapters/topics, where they are explained intensively. Existing entries are updated and presented in the light of the latest knowledge. 3,095 p.
