This thematic collection focuses on key parasites and their vectors
in Southeast Asia. Up-to-date essays invite readers to discover
parasite and vector morphology, genetic diversity as well as
dynamic parasite communities linked to human land-use and climate
change. The authors shed light on transmission pathways and explore
tick-borne diseases, intestinal protozoa, cestodes, nematodes and
the multiplicity of cryptic trematode species. Particular attention
is given to mosquito vectors in changing environments and the
dynamic biodiversity of vertebrate hosts, including mammals, birds
and fish. The richly illustrated chapters are completed by new
approaches in diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention to
protect humans and animals from tropical parasite infections. Not
only parasitologists and experts in tropical medicine but also
public health officials and travelers will find this volume highly
informative.

This book has been designed to summarize current, essential
information for every one of the world's 700+ hard tick species.
Under each species name, we will cite the original description,
followed by information on type depositories, known stages,
distribution (by zoogeographic region and ecoregion), hosts, and
human infestation (if any). Each species account will also include
a list of salient references and, where necessary, remarks on
systematic status. We envision eight chapters: six devoted to the
major ixodid tick genera (Amblyomma, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis,
Hyalomma, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus), one covering eight minor genera
(including two that are fossil), and a concluding summary chapter.
There will be two tables on host associations and zoogeography in
each major genus chapter, as well as five tables in the summary
chapter, for a total of 17 tables. No similar synopsis of the
world's hard tick species exists in any language.
