Books in the Advances in Parasitology series

Control of parasitic infections of humans has progressed rapidly. This volume focuses on the state of control of the significant human parasitic infectious diseases. It includes the impact of research findings on control strategy and also discusses the health policy implications of these findings and the importance of evaluation and monitoring.

Contains comprehensive reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. This book includes medical studies on parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. It also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications.

Giardia and Giardiasis Volume 107-Part B, in the Advances in Parasitology series, is dedicated to aspects of cytoskeletal structure of this parasite with an emphasis on insights of new components and their function in trophozoites. Further, microtubule function and its critical involvement in motility, attachment, mitosis and cell division as well as in transitions between developmental stages are reviewed. Also a comprehensive revision in the progress of tools to explore and understand the functional biology of Giardia, its coding and non-coding genes, features and cellular and molecular biology is contained in this volume. Additionally, an exciting perspective on the interactions between Giardia and intestinal epithelial cell by reviewing transcriptomic and proteomic investigations is included along with a state-of-the art of the understanding pathophysiology of giardiasis and of how Giardia can cause post-infectious and extra-intestinal complications. A complete review of current knowledge including commonly prescribed drugs, causes of therapeutic fails, drug resistance mechanisms, strategies for the discovery of new agents for alternative drug therapies is covered.

Studies have been conducted on various parasitoid species, and almost all different approaches of the biology of parasitoids have been studied on parasitoids of Drosophila. This book synthesizes the different fields of research that can be explored. It reports techniques and methods adapted to the study of larval parasitoid species.

Evolutionary theory has a key role to play in the interpretation of host and parasitic dynamics and the design and application of disease control programmes. This title collects articles from scientists from different fields of research and/or disease control, but with a common interest in studying the biology of a variety of parasitic diseases.

Provides a synthesis of complex biology, quantitative analysis, space technology and practical applications, focused on solving real epidemiological problems on a global scale. This book presents a comprehensive guide to using the methods of surveillance from satellites, including analysing spatial data within geographical information systems.
