Parasites of the Colder Climates (Hardcover)

The parasitic load carried in cold northern climates is widely under-appreciated. With many texts on parasitology tending to concentrate on tropical parasitic infections, the reader can be forgiven for thinking that many parasites are not a problem in these parts of the world. Parasites of the Colder Climates redresses this balance by focussing on the problems of parasites indigenous to the cooler climates of the northern hemisphere.
A multi-authored text and with chapters covering Scandinavia and the Baltic States, Canada, Alaska, Iceland and Russia, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the parasites present in northern climates and the diseases that they cause. Topics discussed include epidemiology, biology and pathogenesis, clinical presentations, laboratory investigations and methods for laboratory diagnosis.
Parasites of the Colder Climates presents a concise single reference of diagnostic methods and preventative information for epidemiologists, clinicians and parasitologists and forms a unique account suitable for researchers and advanced undergraduates and postgraduates.
