Introduction to Animal Parasitology

About this book

Essential reference, providing a broad multi-disciplined approach to the morphology, ultra structure, speciation, life cycles, biochemistry, in vitro culture and immunoloty of parasites. This completely rewritten edition incorporates many of the spectacular advances made in recent years.
