Presents fifty easy-to-follow laboratory exercises for student practical (lab) classes. All the exercises are tried and tested by the authors and are used in a wide variety of university undergraduate teaching departments. They range from relatively simple observational exercises, using local materials and requiring little in the way of equipment, to more technically demanding experiments in physiology and molecular parasitology.
Part I. Observational Exercises on Parasites Part II. Ecology Part III. Physiology and Biochemistry Part IV. Pathology and Immunology Part V. Chemotherapy Part VI. Molecular Parasitology Part VII. Behaviour
The book is an excellent stimulation for lecturers to include such parasitological exercises into their courses.
