520 _a"As in the first edition, the intention is to write a book that provides a concise, student-friendly account of parasites and parasite relationships that is supported by case studies and suggestions for student projects. The case studies will be topical and include examples such as the problems caused by wars in Syria and Yemen, the mass movement of migrants and the confinement of people in refugee camps. It is intended that the self-assessment quizzes will be moved from the text and placed entirely within web-based support material. This will save on text and allow the web-support material to be expanded. The book is currently copiously illustrated and some of these are in colour. The quizzes and photos will be reviewed and where new and better photos are available, we will make use of them. AG will take as many possible of these himself to avoid copyright issues. There is a strong focus on parasite interactions with other pathogens and in particular parasite-virus interactions, as well as a consideration of how host behavior contributes to the spread of infections. There is a consideration of the positive aspects of parasite infections and how humans have used parasites for their own advantage (these are topics that are not often mentioned in parasitology textbooks) and also how parasite infections affect the welfare of captive and domestic animals. There is an emphasis on recent research throughout and each chapter ends with a brief discussion of future developments. The field of parasite diagnostics has seen several major advancements over the last seven years and therefore the new developments will be included. The intention is to keep the same 10 chapter headings as in the current edition with an additional one on molecular parasitology"--
