Human Parasitology, Fourth Edition Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Human Parasitology emphasizes a medical perspective while incorporating functional morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunology to enhance appreciation of the diverse implications of parasitism. Bridging the gap between classical clinical parasitology texts and traditional encyclopedic treatises, Human Parasitology appeals to students interested in the medical aspects of parasitology and those who require a solid foundation in the biology of parasites. This 4e has been fully revised to integrate the most recent molecular discoveries about mosquitoes, ticks and other arthropods as vectors, as well as the most effective therapeutic regimens. New to this Edition: • Features expanded coverage of the evolution of parasitism and an extensive update to immunology of parasite–host interactions • Offers an enhanced art program featuring life-cycle illustrations and additional SEM and TEM micrographs • New Host Immune Response section for each organismPresents various parasites and examines how they interact with their hosts and respond to new treatmentsEasy to read with photographs, diagrams, and clinical case pictures throughout

Like most general internists in America, I do not have much contact with parasitology. I bought the book to learn more about the topic and it fulfilled the expectation. It's a laundry list of organisms that have both a lot in common and their own idiosyncrasies. None of it is memorable and all of it can be obtained from reading any Internal Medicine textbook.
An outstanding self-study text for Medical Lab Technicians (MLT), Medical Lab Technologists (MT) / Medical Lab Scientists (MLS), and other Pathology students.Parasitology as a whole is lightly touched on in MLT (associate level) and MT/MLS (Bachelors level) courses and certifications. This is a must read for anyone who works in a micro lab.
The book was very thorough. It discussed each parasite's life cycle, general location, immunologic effect on humans, possible treatment (if there are any), and distinct physical features (using various monochrome/colored pictures).
This is a fantastic book. It's not too dense and is actually quite readable. Each parasite has a complete summary including background, life cycle, clinical manifestations, detection methods, epidemiology, immunology and more. Similar to what other reviewers have said, most of the figures are colorless diagrams, but they are well-drawn and easy to follow. If self-studying, it would be best to pair with an atlas.Highly recommended for anyone wishing to delve into the interesting realm of parasitology.
Beautiful!
Its a good option if no need to buy book. Book came like a brand new one.
Excellent textbook. Well written and easy to understand.
Great good a lot of amazing pictures and descriptions
