Parasitic diseases are considered nowadays as an
important public health problem due to the high morbidity and mortality
rates registered in the world. These diseases result in more severe
consequences for the social order of tropical and subtropical countries
because many of them have low economic income that makes it even more
difficult to design and implement health control programs.
Web Atlas of Medical Parasitology aims to provide educational
materials for medical students primarily, but professional workers in
medical or paramedical fields may also refer to this site covering the
significant parasites in the world.
Parasitism is a kind of symbiosis,
a close and persistent long-term biological interaction between the parasite
and its host. Topics covered includes: Etymology, Evolutionary strategies,
Parasitic castrators, Parasitoids, Transmission strategies, Hyperparasitism,
Social parasitism, Brood parasitism, Kleptoparasitism, Sexual parasitism,
Adelphoparasitism, Taxonomic range, Host defences, Evolutionary ecology.
This book covers the following topics: The Ameba, The
Ciliates, Coccidia, and Microsporidia, The Flagellates, The Cestodes
