Although many books have been published on various aspects of
human, animal, and plant parasitology, as well as the public health
problems associated with parasites, none to date has offered a
comprehensive glossary for those confronted with the discipline's
exceptionally extensive terminology. To meet this need requires a
dedicated text that can house the myriad entries that define all
the basic principles and advanced nomenclature of parasitology. The
Dictionary of Parasitology reflects current practice in all aspects
of parasitology and includes spellings, punctuation, abbreviations,
acronyms, symbols, nomenclature, prefixes, and suffixes. It covers
the field of modern parasitology with concise, clear, and
authoritative precision. The dictionary assigns entries of
parasites to the primary divisions of parasitology: human,
veterinary, plant, insect, or fish; although in many instances the
area of interest may be wide-ranging. The dictionary provides the
depth and breadth of knowledge that makes it both an informative
and useful volume for beginners and experts in the field, as well
as for writers and editors of scientific texts. Entries cover
control measures, immunology, physiology, pharmacology, etc., and
each are labeled according to the most appropriate area to which
they relate. Attach tear sheet from text Providing more than 11,500
entries, the Dictionary of Parasitology, sets a standard that will
allow those in the field to communicate with essential scientific
accuracy.
