PARASITOLOGY

The present book is on " Parasitology-Protozoology & Helminthology " is designed for all UG and PG students. To clear understanding of the basic facts concerning, amebiasis, malaria, hookworms, and transmission of disease by insects. The author hopes that this book has played at least a small part in bringing this about, partly by stimulating the interest of students, and partly by making easier the task of the teacher. With the second edition the scope of the book was widened, the important parasites of domestic animals, in order to give a broader background of knowledge in the subject useful. It is the writer's opinion that it is an introductory book in parasitology only enough classification and taxonomy should be incorporated to give the student an understanding of the general relationships of the parasites considered. Attempt has been made to give complete descriptions of all the parasites dealt with, though where it is particularly important to distinguish between related or similar species, sufficiently detailed descriptions. Throughout the book special emphasis has been laid on the biological aspects and life cycles, epidemiological factors and interrelations of parasite.
