Parasitic Infections Understand and defeat a scourge of public health with this cutting-edge guide Parasitic diseases are considered as an important public health problem due to the high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in countries where climate and level of economic development create serious challenges to the creation of public health infrastructure, thus can make parasitic infections both graver and more difficult to contain. As we come to understand the global ramifications of public health, there has never been a more crucial time to understand these infections and the processes by which they can be managed and defeated. Parasitic Infections is a comprehensive overview of parasitic immunopathology, including the fundamentals of parasite biology, mechanisms and processes of infection, and the key steps of drug discovery and treatment. In addition to detailed coverage of the most commonly encountered infectious parasites, analysis of the immune system provides material pertinent to any possible parasitic infection. The result is an essential contribution to public health research. Parasitic Infections readers will also find: A careful balance of parasite immunopathology and pharmaceutical analysis Detailed discussion of parasites such as protozoans, helminths, and ectoparasites Case studies and in-depth analyses written by authors around the world on the basis of first hand investigation Parasitic Infections is a must-read for researchers or professionals in immunology, biology, medicinal chemistry, drug development or pharmaceutical research, and all related fields.

Preparation of Phytopharmaceuticals for the Management of Disorders: The Development of Nutraceuticals and Traditional Medicine presents comprehensive coverage and recent advances surrounding phytopharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and traditional and alternative systems of medicines. Sections cover the concepts of phytopharmaceuticals, their history, and current highlights in phytomedicine. Also included are classifications of crude drugs, herbal remedies and toxicity, traditional and alternative systems of medicine, nanotechnology applications, and herbal cosmeticology. Final sections cover applications of microbiology and biotechnology in drug discovery. This book provides key information for everyone interested in drug discovery, including medicinal chemists, nutritionists, biochemists, toxicologists, drug developers and health care professionals. Students, professors and researchers working in the area of pharmaceutical sciences and beyond will also find the book useful.

The purpose of this book is to aware the people about the medicinal importance of Neem, Tulsi and Shisham which is commonly found in various states of India. These three plants are easily present in our surroundings but people does not know their medicinal value. In this context, this book describe ant-inflammatory, anti-bacterial activity and also give the knowledge about some other medicinal uses of Neem, Tulsi and Shisham. The book is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, biochemistry, industrial chemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, microbiology and related disciplines. Its our mission to declare authentic, scientific, authoritative, update knowledge and information about anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial potential and other importance of all these three plants to Health Care Educational Institutes, Herbal Drug Industries and Research and Development Units.

The main purpose of this book is to discuss several medicinal plants in an explicit and lucid manner to find out wider application in the domain of life. The broad coverage included in each of the selected herbs would render medicinal and pharmaceutical importance to be an useful source of ideas, inspiration for research and developing newer drugs to solve problems in the ever expanding field of life. The wide range and new standardized format of this book make it the idea reference work for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemistry, biochemistry, industrial chemistry, environmental science, pharmacy, microbiology, biotechnology and related disciplines. With this book, the user can find information about phytochemicals in an understandable form, simplifying decisions about which phytochemical can prove the information they are seeking on chemical composition and structure.
