Textbook of Clinical Parasitology
نویسنده
چکیده
Ten years ago Dr. Belding brought out the first edition of this text and in the present volume follows the original plan of presenting "the protozoan, helminthic, and arthropod parasites of man, and the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the diseases they produce." Although more material has been compressed into each page and thinner paper permits a convenient reduction in its thickness, the book is actually about 250 pages longer than the first edition. In almost every chapter, sections on diagnosis, treatment, methods of laboratory diagnosis and cultivation, nutrition, immunology, and reproduction are expanded. Chapters on amebiasis, the blood and tissue flagellates, malaria, the filarioidea, and schistosomes are especially notable for the choice and amount of new material included. The toxoplasma are assigned a separate place for the first time. The technical section is larger; parasitic protozoa, helminths, serological and chemical methods, and intermediate and reservoir hosts each occupy a chapter. About thirty new drugs, complete with structural formulae, contraindications for use, and methods for testing are added. This is both a reference and a textbook. Tables, graphs, photographs, diagrams of life cycles, and extensive line drawings of ova and parasites facilitate its use; each succinctly illuminates the writing. The designer of the book uses type faces which eliminate any confusion in finding appropriate sections; this is a striking improvement over the first edition. An annotated bibliography is included for the first time; a marked increase is noted in the number of references. In this edition the author has achieved his purpose and presents us with a more handsome, complete, and useful book.
