| parasitology review questions: Parasitology Eric Loker, Bruce Hofkin, 2015-03-02 Parasitology: A Conceptual Approach focuses on the conceptual basis of parasitology, with the goal of providing students with an enriched view of parasites and their biology. Concentrating on concepts will enable readers to gain a broader perspective that will increase their ability to think critically about all kinds of parasitic associations. The interfaces between the study of parasitism and prominent biological disciplines such as biodiversity, immunology, ecology, evolution, conservation biology, and disease control are highlighted. Studying individual parasites is an essential part of parasitology so Parasitology: A Conceptual Approach contains an appendix which provides a concise overview of the biology of important human and veterinary parasites. End-of-chapter questions are provided, as is an instructor manual. |

| parasitology review questions: Cases in Human Parasitology Judith Stephenson Heelan, 2004 Cases in Human Parasitology focuses solely on parasites that adversely affect humans. Intended as a supplement to textbooks in human parasitology for undergraduate and medical school courses, this book of 62 case studies is also an important educational reference source for health care scientists active in the field of parasitology. The first four sections cover different groups of parasites, including intestinal protozoa; blood and tissue protozoa; cestodes, trematodes, and intestinal nematodes; and blood and tissue nematodes. The last section covers challenging cases and details non-parasitic infections in patients with symptoms closely resembling those of parasitic infections. Each case study opens with a patient history and description of symptoms, and most are accompanied by a color image of the parasite described. Thought-provoking questions are posed, covering everything from diagnosis and the life cycle of the identified parasite to epidemiology and prevention. The questions stimulate discussion while emphasizing the relationship of diagnosis to patient care. Cases present new, emerging, and well-known parasites, and parasites infrequently encountered in the United States are included. The book concludes with a glossary of descriptive terms. Cases in Human Parasitology is an excellent reinforcement of material learned in a clinical or laboratory setting. It will be useful for pathology residents and infectious disease fellows in preparing for board exams and it will serve in continuing the education of medical technologists involved in diagnostic parasitology. Key Features: Over 60 case studies focusing on intestinal protozoa, blood and tissue protozoa, cestodes, trematodes, and intestinal nematodes, as well as blood and tissue nematodes Concise cases begin with patient history and symptoms, relevant clinical findings and laboratory data, and in most cases relevant four-color images; proceed with discussion questions; and conclude with answers to the questions Challenging cases throughout; final section presents students with unusual patient histories and symptoms Reinforces material which is covered in a laboratory or clinical setting |
| parasitology review questions: Parasitology Alan Gunn, Sarah J. Pitt, 2012-04-30 Parasitology: An Integrated Approach, provides a concise, student-friendly account of parasites and parasite relationships that is supported by case studies and suggestions for student projects. The book focuses strongly on parasite interactions with other pathogens and in particular parasite-HIV interactions, as well as looking at how host behaviour contributes to the spread of infections. There is a consideration of the positive aspects of parasite infections, how humans have used parasites for their own advantage and also how parasite infections affect the welfare of captive and domestic animals. The emphasis of Parasitology is on recent research throughout and each chapter ends with a brief discussion of future developments. This text is not simply an updated version of typical parastitology books but takes an integrated approach and explains how the study of parasites requires an understanding of a wide range of other topics from molecular biology and immunology to the interactions of parasites with both their hosts and other pathogens. |
| parasitology review questions: Medical Parasitology Khaled ElShewy, 2024-11-20 This book offers a concise and clear overview of medically important parasites. It sets itself apart from traditional parasitology systematic books by adopting an integrated modular system, which is currently being introduced in many countries. Parasites are categorized based on the body systems they infect. To avoid repetition, parasites with multisystem effects are grouped under the system they primarily infect, and they are cross-referenced in other relevant sections. The book thoroughly covers the various stages of a parasite's life cycle, modes of transmission, epidemiology, and diagnosis of parasitic diseases. To foster a better understanding of the connections between basic and clinical subjects, the text emphasizes the pathogenesis and subsequent clinical presentation of commonly encountered parasitic infections in humans. Moreover, the text includes current information on the ever-changing field of anti-parasitic treatment, serving as a valuable resource for practitioners. Each section is accompanied by endnotes that highlight key points, and review questions are provided to facilitate comprehension and review. The book's original drawings, tables, and colored diagrams are designed to simplify the understanding of pathogenesis and structural morphology. For those seeking additional details, structural morphology and dosages of anti-parasitic drugs are presented. The language is straightforward, making the book suitable for medical students and physicians alike, enabling them to approach more simplified literature with confidence.

| parasitology review questions: Parasites and Parasitic Diseases Gilberto Antonio Bastidas Pacheco, 2019-04-24 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. This situation opens the door to the emergence and reemergence of these diseases; therefore, it is convenient, necessary, and essential to study and update the epidemiological behavior of tropical diseases with the objective of offering official health professionals and institutions current information for decision-making in this area to ensure social welfare. |

| parasitology review questions: Toxocara Celia Holland, H. V. Smith, 2006 Toxocara is a parasitic helminth worm which continues to stimulate both public concern and scientific interest. Toxocara canis and T.cati, the most studied species, are gastrointestinal parasites of dogs and cats and their eggs can contaminate the environment, thus exposing humans and other mammals and birds to infection. Many questions remain unanswered about the host-parasite relationship, its epidemiology and public health significance. Veterinarians and clinicians are interested in its importance as a zoonosis. The parasite's capacity to cause ocular disease is of concern to ophthalmologists, while its propensity to stimulate allergic manifestations is of interest to allergologists, dermatologists and respiratory medicine specialists. Furthermore Toxocara provides a unique model system to explore questions in parasite biology.This book provides a comprehensive review of Toxocara and the disease it causes known as toxocariasis. |
