Bücher der Reihe Parasitology Research Monographs

The Southern Oceans including Antarctic regions are peculiar and very sensitive water biotopes, where animal life and species interrelations are only poorly investigated. Especially the influence of parasites on their host species needs intensive consideration in times of global warming and worldwide pollution.

This book presents the latest information on canine parasites with zoonotic potential, to help avoid human infections.

This book sheds new light on the use of nanoparticles in the fields of parasitology and public and animal health. Nanotechnology has been used in many fields of research and in practical applications.

This edited volume focuses on parasite-host relationships and the behavioral changes parasites may trigger in their hosts.

This book examines the efficacy of plant-derived products for curing human infections caused by important parasites that have been used for over a thousand years by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in the light of recent chemotherapeuticals.

This book gathers contributions by 39 international specialists on well-known but neglected mosquito-borne diseases. The authors highlight pathogens that are increasingly being spread worldwide by various mosquito species, a situation worsened further by migration and tourism.The book addresses significant agents of diseases like AIDS, dengue, Zika virus, malaria and even cancer, and the risk of transmission via mosquito-related vectors. In addition, it examines important means of preventing the outbreak of related diseases by using insecticides and/or repellents.A particular focus is on the unique and sophisticated mouthparts of bloodsucking species, which allow them to feed on blood in an undisturbed manner, and by means of which agents of disease can enter potential human and animal hosts.In brief, the book provides a broad range of information for a wide readership, including graduates, teachers and researchers in the fields of parasitology, virology, tropical medicine and microbiology, as well as practitioners and healthcare officials.

Bats (Chiroptera) as Vectors of Diseases and Parasites

This book discusses the transmission of agents of disease (prions, viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites) by means of vectors belonging to licking or blood-sucking arthropods including mites, ticks and insects that live near or among humans and their houses.

This volume summarizes what we know about blastocystis, the enigmatic organism whose pathogenesis we have recognized for a century but whose mechanisms remain mysterious to this day. It examines everything from its epidemiology to its varied clinical aspects.

This book focuses on waterborne pathogens and significant diseases occurring along major rivers around the globe, including key examples like the Amazonas, Mekong River and Nile. Written by leading international experts, it offers unique insights into local riverine infection risks in times of global warming, and addressing these through advances in diagnosis, health management and the development of simple but effective control measures. It also sheds light on why former societies collapsed due to transmitted diseases during periods of climate change, droughts and floods, to help establish effective preventive measures for the future.The book appeals to a wide readership, from scientists in the field of parasitology, infectious diseases and epidemiology, to healthcare managers and general readers with an interest in pathogen spread along the largest rivers on earth. It particularly highlights past and current control mechanisms in times of global warming and assesses potential future health hazards.
