Book, Contemporary Parasitology (Ferreira) 2/21[LS]

Contemporary Parasitology was planned and written to provide students and biomedical professionals with the scientific basis necessary to establish associations between the biological characteristics of parasites and the pathophysiology of the diseases associated with them. Its modern approach combines the biological description of the main human parasites with recent research aspects, in a concise and readable text. This second edition, fully revised and updated, has 20 chapters, whose themes have been meticulously selected, based on their global and regional medical importance. New topics relating to parasites prevalent in other Portuguese-speaking countries, although rare in Brazil, were included, and new authors were invited to fill gaps observed in the first edition, especially those relating to parasites common in Africa, thus expanding the scope. of this reference work.?
