Peters' Atlas of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology E-Book


Book Description

Newly organized and featuring new editors and hundreds of new images, Peters' Atlas of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, Seventh Edition, brings you up to date with today's greatest challenges in tropical medicine. Increased global travel, climate change, human conflict, short-term/large-scale human assemblies, potent therapeutic agents, drug resistance, and vaccine misinformation have contributed to a greatly changed landscape in this complex field. This practical, highly visual guide provides more than 1,300 stunning illustrations, making it an authoritative parasitology resource for accurate diagnosis of complex diseases. - Contains hundreds of new images, including more than 50 completely revised life cycles and epidemiological maps. - Provides current information on Zika virus, chikungunya virus, Ebola virus, SARS and MERS-CoV caused by enzootic corona virus, tuberculosis, ceftriaxone-resistant gonorrhea, malaria, and much more. - Features a completely updated and significantly streamlined text, now organized not only by primary mode of disease transmission, but extended to define disease more strictly according to the route of acquisition – a logical change that reflects the principles applied to control measures for most infections. - Presents the knowledge and expertise of new editors Drs. Laura Nabarro, Stephen Morris-Jones, and David A. J. Moore.




Visual Guide to Clinical Parasitology: A Color Atlas


Book Description

Visual Guide to Clinical Parasitology: A Color Atlas" is an essential resource designed to provide clear and detailed visual representations of various parasitic infections encountered in clinical practice. The book serves as a color atlas, making it highly beneficial for students, clinicians, and laboratory personnel who are involved in diagnosing parasitic diseases. The book typically covers a broad range of parasitic organisms, including protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites, offering detailed images of parasites in various stages of their life cycle. Each organism is paired with clinical and laboratory diagnostic features, emphasizing the identification of parasites through microscopic examination, staining techniques, and histological methods. One of the main strengths of this book lies in its comprehensive and practical approach. High-resolution images guide readers through the morphological features of parasites, helping them distinguish between similar species. In addition to visual aids, the book often includes brief clinical summaries, diagnostic hints, and notes on epidemiology, making it not only a visual guide but also a concise reference for clinical decision-making. Furthermore, the color atlas is organized in a user-friendly format, typically arranged by the type of parasite, such as intestinal, blood, or tissue parasites, and includes case studies or clinical examples that illustrate real-world applications. Overall, "Visual Guide to Clinical Parasitology: A Color Atlas" is a valuable tool for anyone engaged in parasitology diagnostics or research, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on experience in clinical settings.

Chapters cover the most important bacterial pathogens and related organisms, including updated taxonomy, epidemiology, pathogenicity, laboratory and antibiotic susceptibility testing, and molecular biology methodology Tables summarize and compare key biochemical reactions and other significant characteristics New to this edition is a separate chapter covering the latest developments in total laboratory automation The comprehensive chapter on stains, media, and reagents is now augmented with histopathology images A new Fast Facts chapter presents tables that summarize and illustrate the most significant details for some of the more commonly encountered organisms For the first time, this easy-to-use atlas is available digitally for enhanced searching. Color Atlas of Medical Bacteriology remains the most valuable illustrative supplement for lectures and laboratory presentations, as well as for laboratorians, clinicians, students, and anyone interested in diagnostic medical bacteriology.




Atlas of Medical Parasitology


Book Description

Illustrated guide (for students and teachers) on medical parasitology and entomology and covers the basic morphology as seen in the light and electron microscope of common parasites.




Medical Parasitology


Book Description

Rely on this concise, systematic introduction to the biology and epidemiology of human parasitic diseases. Explore an extensive series of photographs, line drawings, and plates that aid in the recognition of medically-relevant parasites and help to build a solid understanding of the fundamentals of diagnosis and treatment.




Medical Parasitology


Book Description

This textbook will provide a systematic comprehension of the various medically important human parasites; their distribution, habitat, morphology and life cycle, pathogenesis and clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. The main emphasis is on the protozoan and helminthic diseases, also medical entomology covering vectors relevant to these diseases. The book aims to promote an easy yet comprehensive way of learning parasitology. It attempts to break down the complexity of medical parasitology into parts that are easy to understand yet integrating the essential information of parasitic infections. The integration of knowledge of parasites will be achieved through student friendly illustrations, inclusion of a collection of recent case reports, examples of test questions and scenarios, and the images of human parasites. Essentially, it provides a “one-stop learning package” for medical parasitology.




Atlas of Medical Helminthology and Protozoology


Book Description

This is a new and fully revised edition of Jeffrey and Leach: Atlas of Medical Helminthology and Protozoology. Helminths (worms) and similar parasites are a major medical problem in much of the world and perhaps the largest single cause of morbidity and mortality (eg malaria, elephantiasis, trypanosmiasis). The diagnosis of these conditions still largely rests on the microscopic examination of, for example, faeces. This atlas illustrates the different myriad of different organisms and how to identify them.
