For many of us, our technologically advanced lifestyle has decreased the prevalence and transmission of parasitic diseases, but for the majority of the world’s population, they are ever present in homes, domestic animals, food, or the environment. The study of parasites and parasitic disease has a long and distinguished history. In some cases, it has been driven by the great importance of the presence of the parasite to the community, for example, those that affect our livestock. In other cases, it is clear that applied research has suffered for lack of funding because the parasite affects people with few resources, such as the rural poor in resource-poor countries. These instances include the so-called “neglected diseases,” as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Parasites have complicated life cycles, and a thorough understanding of the unique characteristics of a particular parasite species is vital in attempts to avoid, prevent, or cure infection or to alleviate symptoms. Of course, the biological characteristics that each parasite has developed to aid survival and tra | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1385/1592597939 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-61737-331-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-59259-793-2Series ISSN 1064-3745 Series E-ISSN 1940-6029 | issn_series | 1064-3745 | copyright | Humana Press 2004 |
