Product 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. * Ten-page insert with full color plates of various parasites, eggs, and life cycles provides students with real-life examples of how parasites and their associated material appear in order to facilitate their identification in the laboratory. * Summary Tables appear at the ends of the parasite/disease chapters to summarize the main features of the chapter and to present the salient information from the chapter to allow students better comprehension of the material. * Life cycle drawings show progression of parasites from infancy to adult so students can recognize parasites at each stage of life. * Disease distribution maps depict the global distribution of key parasites to help students see the global impact that various parasites have. * The text explores arthropods both as parasites in their own right and as vectors or intermediate hosts for other parasites so students can understand the direct and indirect impact that they have on health. |

Great book for someone studying parasitology or tropical medicine by Renata Daconti  5 Stars
September 28, 2009
Bought this book for my helminthology class because I saw that the instructor referred to it. Great acquisition. I also recommend Despommier's 4th edition Parasitic Diseases.

i love this book! 5 Stars
May 14, 2003
This parasitology textbook is the highlight of my second year in medical school. Most of my classmates do not rely on this book as their study tool, but to me, it is everything that will help me get through my parasitology course. The details regarding pathological symptoms, treatment and diagnostic methods are very clear and easy-to-read. A must for medical students taking parasitology!

| New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers: Tales of Parasites and People

The medical tapestry of the world is full of organisms too small to see, carried by flying and creeping creatures too numerous to eradicate.
A while ago, DDT and the antimalarial drug chloroquine seemed sure to make us all safe from such invisible assault.
It was not to be. The mosquito has become resistant to DDT; malaria is on the rise; although tapeworms rarely turn up any longer in the most lovingly prepared New York City gefilte fish, a worm may inhabit your sashimi;...
