A critical account of the available techniques for the in vitro cultivation of parasitic helminths (Trematoda, Cestoda, Nematoda, and Acanthocephala), concentrating on those which have been reasonably successful and can be used for teaching or research purposes. In addition to describing basic techn..

It is the purpose of this book to make available to parasitologists and workers in many other disciplines a review of the developments leading up to the successful cultivation of the more important protozoan parasites of man and domestic animals...

It is the purpose of this monograph to set forth the theoretical rules and practical considerations as a basis for decisions, and to illustrate the application of these aspects to the design and evaluation of instrumented microbiological analysis of body fluids...

In recognition of the vital need to protect legitimate facilities from the theft and misuse of dangerous pathogens and toxins, this text is a guide to the implementation of pathogen protection programs. The first sections of the book offer an historical overview of biological weapons activity, key p..

Provides in-depth coverage of lectins and their interactions with micro-organisms and demonstrates how lectins function as probes for viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal surfaces, as well as for blood group antigens...

This volume contains a collection of topical chapters that promote interdisciplinary approaches to biological systems, focusing on fundamental and relevant connections between chemistry and life. Included are studies and experiments as well as invited lectures and notes by prominent leaders on a wid..

Light and Electron Microscopic Neuropathology of Slow Virus Disorders provides extensive coverage of the neurobiology and neuropathology of slow, unconventional virus disorders also known as prion diseases. The book features an outstanding group of contributers, including Nobel Laureate Dr. D. Carle..

Increases in various fungal infections due to Candida, Aspergillus, Blastomyces, Histoplasma spp., and Dermatophytes have attracted interest in the biochemistry of the fungal pathogens responsible. This book discusses the importance of lipids in pathogenic fungi and how they are involved in infectio..

The purpose of this book is to analyze and determine how a host responds to a blood stage malaria infection. It focuses on strategies for anti-malarial vaccination, genetic control of host resistance to malaria, and the contribution of the host genetic background to resistance or susceptibility to..
