Although many books have been published on various aspects of human animal and plant parasitology as well as the public health problems associated with parasites none to date has offered a comprehensive glossary for those confronted with the discipline's exceptionally extensive terminology. To meet this need requires a dedicated text that can house the myriad entries that define all the basic principles and advanced nomenclature of parasitology. The Dictionary of Parasitology reflects current practice in all aspects of parasitology and includes spellings punctuation abbreviations acronyms symbols nomenclature prefixes and suffixes. It covers the field of modern parasitology with concise clear and authoritative precision. The dictionary assigns entries of parasites to the primary divisions of parasitology: human veterinary plant insect or fish; although in many instances the area of interest may be wide-ranging. The dictionary provides the depth and breadth of knowledge that makes it both an informative and useful volume for beginners and experts in the field as well as for writers and editors of scientific texts. Entries cover control measures immunology physiology pharmacology etc. and each are labeled according to the most appropriate area to which they relate.
