Parasitic Diseases 4th ed. is intended as a textbook for 2nd yr. medical students. It is fully illustrated in color and contains over 1,700 references to the original literature. Chapters deal with all major eukaryotes that cause disease in humans. In addition, three chapters deal with anti-parasitic drugs, medical ecology, and travel medicine in the tropics. It has become the standard text on the subject at most medical schools throughout the USA.

This updated version of the world's most popular medical textbook on the subject builds on the success of the 4th edition, keeping the same basic format as before. New findings from the research laboratory and bedside have been integrated into a clearly written narrative covering all aspects of each major disease entity. Every chapter has been updated, documented by the addition of some 550 new references (1,869 in total), bringing a fresh new perspective to the subject of parasitic infections. The text is generously illustrated with 417 figures, most of which are in brilliant, full color. The text's stunning life cycle drawings and superb scanning electron micrographs, so popular with students, have all been kept intact for the 5 th edition, serving as one of the centerpieces of Parasitic Diseases. An up to date version of The Medical Letter compliments the extensively revised Appendix section. Finally, some useful web sites are listed in Appendix E. Our textbook is expressly intended as a guide for practitioners and students of medicine. Clinicians who routinely give advice to their patients regarding international travel will find the 5th edition most useful. Doody's Review Service of medical books gave the 4th edition its highest rating. The 5th edition promises to exceed their expectations.

The accumulation of new knowledge over the last several years has provided the impetus for this, the 7th edition of Parasitic Diseases. By integrating all the salient information contained in over 1000 new references with the current descriptions of each pathogen, we continue the never-ending process of evaluating, revising, and improving our understanding of these parasitic organisms. New features to the 7th edition include a clinical summary section, additional life cycle diagrams and a pronouncer’s guide to parasite names. Consideration of the biographies of those notable contributors to the field of parasitology has also been extended. Parasites Without Borders continues to make available, free of charge, the PDF version of Parasitic Diseases in both English and Spanish editions.

Parasite Life Cycles

In a unique, visual approach to the depiction of parasite life cycles, this detailed atlas presents a clear, concise, and complete overview of the parasite/human host interrelationship. 75 life cycles include all the major protozoan and helminth pathogens of man with new and updated information on several organisms. The illustrations follow the route of infection from point of entry, through the developmental stages, to completion of the cycle as the parasite reinfects the next host. Precise biological anatomical and medical depiction provides reinforcement. Distinguished by its organization, continuity, and accuracy, this comprehensive work will be a valuable reference for students, clinicians and others interested in the field of parasitology.

Parasitic Disease, second edition remains unique in its emphasis on depictions of complete life cycles and its skillful knitting of basic and clinical information. Superbly illustrated with black and white and color photomicrographs and halftone drawings, it is an ideal text for medical, graduate, and advanced undergraduate students of parasitology and an excellent reference for physicians and researchers.

Remarkable achievements in parasitic disease research, both basic and translational, have occurred over the last ten years, and we have incorporated the majority of these into the 6th edition of Parasitic Diseases. We have added over 1,000 new references to document these advances. Innovative work in the laboratory has provided the clinician/research scientist with a much clearer understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis. The number of recently discovered interleukins and their cellular networks has completely re-ordered our comprehension of how parasites and our defense system works to produce protection against infection/reinfection, or in some cases, how it becomes subverted by the offending pathogen to enable it to endure inside us for long periods of time. A plethora of molecular-based diagnostic tests have found their way into the routine of the parasitology diagnostic laboratory, improving the ease at which the offending pathogen can be rapidly identifed. Newer drugs, many with less harmful side-effects than the ones they replaced, have come on the market that make controlling parasite populations at the community level possible without the risk of harming the very ones we wish to help.

Dedicamos nuestra 6ª edición al presidente Jimmy Carter y a William Campbell. Queremos reconocer el liderazgo y el apoyo del Presidente Carter para la erradicación y la eliminación de las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas, como un elemento central para aliviar el sufrimiento y mejorar la vida de las poblaciones más desfavorecidas del mundo. Queremos reconocer a William Cambell como uno de los responsables de la droga milagrosa, la ivermectina. Por su excelente trabajo, recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 2015.
