natural control of major parasites affecting humans, animals, and crops. It
discusses and updates information about three major topics of natural
remedies.
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.
Parasites
are still an important threat to our global health and economy, and
represent an important branch of infectious diseases. This note is designed
to provide students of microbiology and biology with a basic understanding
of classical and modern parasitology.

biology, containing over 100 original, peer-reviewed chapters on a wide
range of topics related to the biology of C. elegans and related nematodes;
as well as WormMethods, a collection of laboratory methods and protocols
