This book is designed specifically for undergraduate medical, biological and paramedical students as well as for postgraduate students and is useful to other students and academicians. It is believed to provide basic knowledge to students on medical parasitology. The whole content of the book has been arranged in a bulleted format and use of sub heads has increased the readability. Tables, flow charts and photographs of specimens and microscopic view pictures have been added for better comprehension of the subject. Real microscopic images of parasites and specimens from various sources are being incorporated to correlate their impressions with the related parasitic diseases.
