Markell And Voge's Medical Parasitology, 9e Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
With a new two-color design, Markell and Voge's Medical Parasitology has an updated and fresh look that highlights the comprehensive material students have trusted for over 40 years. Completely redrawn line drawings and improved halftones provide visual examples related directly to the textual material. The content explores the etiologic agents of human disease belonging to the animal kingdom: protozoa, helminths (worms), and arthropods (insects and spiders), all of which are a significant cause of, or link to illness encountered both in tropical and temperate environments. In addition to providing detailed descriptions of these agents, this text deals with the clinical diseases they cause, their modes of acquisition, transmission and epidemiology, and their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.Ten-page insert with full color plates of various parasites, eggs, and life cycles provides students with real-life examples of how parasites and their associated material appear in order to facilitate their identification in the laboratory. Summary Tables appear at the ends of the parasite/disease chapters to summarize the main features of the chapter and to present the salient information from the chapter to allow students better comprehension of the material. Life cycle drawings show progression of parasites from infancy to adult so students can recognize parasites at each stage of life. Disease distribution maps depict the global distribution of key parasites to help students see the global impact that various parasites have. The text explores arthropods both as parasites in their own right and as vectors or intermediate hosts for other parasites so students can understand the direct and indirect impact that they have on health. New two-color design gives the material a fresh look and highlights important details in illustrations. Improved illustrations include all line drawings redrawn with a second color added, as well as improved quality in the halftones. Thorough revision reflecting all the most recent research findings and the most cutting-edge techniques for diagnosis and treatment. Significant change in authorship with David John taking the role of lead editor, and with a new co-editor, William Petri, a proven expert, writer, and speaker in the field of parasitology.

This parasitology textbook is the highlight of my second year in medical school. Most of my classmates do not rely on this book as their study tool, but to me, it is everything that will help me get through my parasitology course. The details regarding pathological symptoms, treatment and diagnostic methods are very clear and easy-to-read. A must for medical students taking parasitology!
Apparently this is one of the more comprehensive texts on parasites out there, our professor strongly recommended it.I think it is useful, as it contains a lot of information and is organized fairly logically. However, note that some of the information is not 100% up-to-date (for example, better images of parasite life cycles may be found on the CDC website) and it is a LOT of info that is just sort of thrown at you - sometimes hard to absorb. That said, it pretty much tells you everything you need to know about parasites (sometimes more than you need) and, given that it's intended as a textbook, is really not bad. Plus a lot of this information is not very easily available on the internet so you need a book.
Bought this book for my helminthology class because I saw that the instructor referred to it. Great acquisition. I also recommend Despommier's 4th edition Parasitic Diseases.
Would not purchase this item. Tf you do and it is not what you want you will have to pay for shipping.
The binding was torn, but the book is still together. Other than that it was a good book for my class.
