Samenvatting
Ectoparasitic Diseases provides information on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ectoparasitic conditions caused by arthropods of medical importance. The book discusses the manner in which arthropod ectoparasites threaten human health by bodily infestations, covering specific ectoparasites and the vector-borne infectious diseases transmitted by each. Chapters offer definitions, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestations, therapeutic treatments, and preventive measures. In addition, the book examines the public health, socioeconomic, and psychological impact from ectoparasitic infections.
This book offers comprehensive coverage to researchers, practitioners, and advanced students studying ectoparasitic vector-borne diseases.
