This textbook, which is the first volume in the series Microbial  Zoonoses, provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis, treatment  and control of zoonotic parasitic diseases. The book is divided into two  sections; the first section discusses the classification of parasitic  zoonoses and includes general information on the diagnosis, treatment,  epidemiology, prevention, and control of parasitic zoonoses. It also  describes the biological features of these organisms, host-parasite  interactions, and the disease spectrum, as well as the importance of  public health control measures, such as surveillance, and prophylactic  measures in controlling these diseases.The second section explores the  important zoonotic diseases caused by ectoparasites, protozoan and  helminths parasites. It also reviews the life cycle, pathogenesis,  pathology, immunology and clinical manifestations, modern diagnostic  methods, treatment regimen, prevention, control, and epidemiology of  these parasites.Cutting across the disciplines, this book serves as a  guide to postgraduate students, faculty members, public health experts,  and medical administrators who are interested in the management of these  parasitic zoonotic infections.
