Digenetic trematodes constitute a major helminth group that
parasitize humans and animals, and are a major cause of morbidity
and mortality. The diseases caused by trematodes have been
neglected for years, especially as compared with other parasitic
diseases. However, the geographical limits and the populations at
risk are currently expanding and changing in relation to factors
such as growing international markets, improved transportation
systems, and demographic changes. This has led to a growing
international interest in trematode infections, although factors
such as the difficulties entailed in the diagnosis, the complexity
of human and agricultural practices, the lack of assessments of the
economic costs or the limited number of effective drugs are
preventing the development of control measures of these diseases in
humans and livestock. In-depth studies are needed to clarify the
current epidemiology of these helminth infections and to identify
new and specific targets for both effective diagnosis and
treatments. The main goal of this book is to present the major
trematodes and their corresponding diseases in the framework of
modern parasitology, considering matters such as the application of
novel techniques and analysis of data in the context of
host-parasite interactions and to show applications of new
techniques and concepts for the studies on digenetic trematodes.
This is an ideal book for parasitologists, microbiologists,
zoologists, immunologists, professional of public health workers,
clinicians and graduate and post-graduate students.
