Parasitology from ecology to immunology

Richard Lucius’s textbook brings classical parasitology together with research from cell and molecular biology. Its broad survey covers each class of animal parasites, including major parasites of humans, while an opening section examines evolution and ecology. Immunological aspects receive detailed treatment, and 250 study questions with solutions provide material for self-study. The book is based on a German textbook and has been rewritten and restructured for this edition, with contributions from researchers and lecturers in the UK and New Zealand.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying parasitology who want coverage spanning animal parasites and human parasites.
  • Learners interested in the biological, ecological, evolutionary, and immunological dimensions of parasitology.
  • Students seeking a textbook with questions and solutions for independent study.

Book overview

Filling the gap for a textbook combining classical parasitology with the latest research results from cell and molecular biology, this unique volume covers each class of animal parasites, including all major human parasites, and features a large introductory section focusing on their evolution and ecology. Immunological aspects are covered in detail and 250 study questions with solutions are included for self-study.
Based on a successful German textbook, this edition has been completely rewritten and restructured with the help of outstanding researchers and lecturers from the UK and New Zealand, making it the first choice for those parasitology students planning to stay in research in academia or industry.
