A fully comprehensive and up-to-date edition covering all aspects
of Acanthamoeba biology. Following the success of the first edition
of this book, the author has extensively revised and expanded the
text to produce a new volume that includes all the latest research
and information on every aspect of this organism. There is a
particular emphasis on the Acanthamoeba genome sequence and the
novel insights gained from the application of molecular methods to
Acanthamoeba developmental and cellular biology in terms of
metabolism and morphogenesis, classification, ecology and role in
the ecosystem, host-pathogen interactions, virulence factors and
immunological basis of pathogenesis, clinical manifestation,
diagnosis, treatment, new target development and drug resistance
and its interactions with other microbes in the environment. This
new edition is an essential reference text for parasitologists,
microbiologists, immunologists, and physicians in the field of
basic and medical microbiology, as well as an invaluable reference
for new and experienced researchers who wish to understand this
organism better. This book is the definitive guide to current
research on this increasingly important organism.
Essentials of Veterinary Parasitology provides an up-to-date
resource for students and practicing veterinarians on how to
recognize, diagnose, and treat parasitic diseases in livestock and
companion animals. Featuring full-color illustrations and a
user-friendly layout, the book begins with a section dedicated to
the fundamentals of veterinary parasitology and ends with a section
on the prevention of parasitic infections, entailing recent
developments in the understanding of the pathogenesis and control
of parasitic diseases. In between, there are sections on important
parasitic infections in livestock, organized by the parasite agents
- helminths, protozoa, and arthropods - plus a section on
diagnostic parasitology. This book is an essential reference for
veterinary students, practicing veterinarians, and researchers in
the field of parasitology.

Fast advances have been made in the field of protozoology,
specifically around the area of emerging protozoan pathogens. This
timely volume provides the reader with a current understanding of
factors such as the biology, genomics, epidemiology, pathogenesis
and treatments of this important group of pathogens. In order to
provide a more useful reference for less experienced readers, there
are also sections on general properties of protozoa and the human
immune response, to aid further understanding of the specialist
topics on the emerging pathogens. Emerging Protozoan Pathogens is
intended to be used by microbiologists and molecular and cell
biologists at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well
as health professionals and researchers who are interested in these
pathogens. The material covered in the book makes an ideal platform
on which to base further research projects.
