Preface
This book is designed mainly for undergraduate students of biological sciences, biomedical sciences, medicine, and veterinary sciences who need to know about protozoan and helminth parasites and understand how they affect their hosts. It would also be useful for postgraduate students who need background information about parasites to support their research and for members of any other professional group who need an insight into the subject for their work.
Protozoan and helminth parasites are fascinating organisms, and examples of their parasitism are found in a broad range of hosts, including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. The interaction between a parasite and its host is complex and dynamic. Therefore, studying parasitology is useful for appreciating a range of concepts in biological sciences including growth and reproduction, biochemistry, immunology, and pathology.
