Parasitic infestations continue to be the major cause of morbidity in Asian countries. Good knowledge of the parasites, their life-cycle, mode of transmission and diagnostic techniques is essential for all health care personnel. Medical Parasitology stood out as an independent discipline, and the knowledge, especially the diagnostic techniques, has been expanding rapidly. Health care personnel in general, medical and dental students in particular, are heavily burdened with reading wide range of disciplines in depth. So, this concise book will be very helpful to them. This handy book has been envisaged and designed keeping in mind the mindset, understanding capabilities and the reading methods of undergraduate medical students. - from Amzon
