Parasites across human and wildlife contexts

Omar Amin brings together research on parasitic organisms and disease agents affecting both wildlife and humans, spanning cultural and geographical contexts from Ancient Egypt to the present. The volume covers arthropods, invertebrates, bacteria, and toxic chemicals, and reports descriptions of approximately 100 new species and higher taxa, particularly among the Acanthocephala. It also discusses the book’s account of Morgellons disease and its proposed treatment, alongside historical connections between ancient Egyptian and Arabic sources and modern medicine. A philosophical framework based on relationships in a Gestalt context shapes its perspective on parasitic infections.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in parasitology and disease research across human and wildlife systems.
  • Readers seeking material on the history of medicine, including ancient Egyptian and Arabic sources.

Book overview

This proposed book is a lifetime journey of discovery of the many aspects of a variety of parasitic organisms' relationships with wild life and humans across the cultural and geographical divides of the world from Ancient Egypt to the present. The research presented covers the arthopod, invertebrate, bacterial, and toxic chemical agents of diseases affecting host systems. In this perspective, about 100 new species and higher taxa, especially of the Acanthocephala, are described for the first time. A new disease, NCS (Neuro-cutaneous Syndrome) causing Morgellons disease is described along with its treatment. The Ancient Egyptian and Arabic sources of modern medicine are explained. Philosophical approaches explained the nature of parasitic infections in terms of relationships in a Gestalt context are adopted.
