Markell and Voges Medical Parasitology-9판

With a new two-color design, Markell and Voge's Medical Parasitology has an updated and fresh look that highlights the
comprehensive material students have trusted for over 40 years. Completely redrawn line drawings and improved halftones
provide visual examples related directly to the textual material. The content explores the etiologic agents of human
disease belonging to the animal kingdom: protozoa, helminths (worms), and arthropods (insects and spiders), all of
which are a significant cause of, or link to illness encountered both in tropical and temperate environments. In
addition to providing detailed descriptions of these agents, this text deals with the clinical diseases they cause,
their modes of acquisition, transmission and epidemiology, and their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

New two-color design gives the material a fresh look and highlights important details in illustrations.
Improved illustrations include all line drawings redrawn with a second color added, as well as improved quality in the
halftones.
Thorough revision reflecting all the most recent research findings and the most cutting-edge techniques for diagnosis
and treatment.
Significant change in authorship with David John taking the role of lead editor, and with a new co-editor, William
Petri, a proven expert, writer, and speaker in the field of parasitology.
