Climate change and environmental pollution remain two primary areas of concern in today’s world. These detrimental influences continue to have a strong impact on various aspects of humanity, specifically public health in tropical regions. Researchers have seen neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affected by climate change and anthropogenic impacts. Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts on Health in Tropical and Subtropical Regions is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the association of environmental pollutants and global warming with viruses in tropical regions. While highlighting topics such as pathogenicity, travel impact, and economic impacts, this publication explores the developments and trends in these areas of medicine and ecology, as well as prevention strategies to be used for educational and sensitization purposes. This book is ideally designed for doctors, medical practitioners, ecologists, epidemiologists, environmentalists, world health organizations, researchers, biologists, policymakers, academicians, and students.

This well illustrated book provides an historical and unified overview of a century and a half of research on the development, life cycles, transmission and evolution of the nematodes found in vertebrates throughout the world. This second, expanded edition includes relevant data from some 450 new references that have appeared from 1989 to 1999. The volume includes nematode parasites of humans, domestic animals and wildlife including fish. After an introductory chapter outlining general principles, the author systematically describes the biological characteristics of the 27 superfamilies of nematodes, followed by families, subfamilies, genera and species.

Parasites have evolved numerous complex and fascinating ways of interacting with their hosts. The subject attracts the interest of numerous biologists from the perspective of ecology and behavioural biology, as well as from those concerned with more applied aspects of parasitology. However, until now there has been no recent book to synthesize this field.This book, written by leading authorities from the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, provides the most comprehensive coverage of this important topic on the market.

This volume of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) series covers the most prevalent NTDs in Oceania. This book will discuss in detail pathology, diagnostics and control approaches of selected NTDs in the geographic region. A large part of Oceania’s population lives in poverty and therefore is at high risk for certain parasitic diseases, such as hookworm infection, lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis or scabies. In addition viral infections such as dengue and new emerging viruses are of importance as major health risks for people living and traveling in this area. Each chapter focuses on one specific disease or series of related diseases, and provides in-depth insights into the topic.

This is an existing infrastructure for other neglected tropical disease (NTD) control or elimination programmes, as was done to add schistosomiasis. The preliminary steps for implementing a strongyloidiasis control programme were shared, namely: - gain knowledge of the epidemiology of S. stercoralis; - conduct a field evaluation of the proposed intervention. Pilot interventions should evaluate the impact and feasibility of the proposed strategy (a pilot study is planned in Ethiopia); and - find a standard diagnostic tool to enable assessment of the public health burden of the disease and exchange of information among different research and control groups; for many countries there is no epidemiological information at all, so we need recommendations for assessment of baseline prevalence.

Human strongyloidiasis is a soil-transmitted helminth caused by infection with Strongyloides stercoralis, and it estimated to infect 300–600 million people worldwide. In recent years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been contacted by the health ministries of several countries in which strongyloidiasis is endemic for advice on how to address the disease as a public health problem. While there are no public health programmes specifically for control of strongyloidiasis, in some settings, preventive chemotherapy (PC) with ivermectin are being conducted to control lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. These programmes have demonstrated a reduction in prevalence of S. stercoralis infection, suggesting that PC may be a potential public health strategy in areas endemic for strongyloidiasis. WHO convened a guideline development group (GDG) to address the need to control strongyloidiasis and develop guidance. The objective of this WHO guideline is to provide an evidence-informed recommendation on whether PC with ivermectin as a public health intervention could reduce the disease burden. After considering all available evidence, The GDG made one recommendation which is annual mass drug administration with single-dose ivermectin in all age groups from 5 years and above in endemic settings with prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis infection ≥ 5%.

This work has broad applications in clinical medicine, ranging from prevention and treatment of organ and bone marrow transplant rejection, management of various autoimmune disorders (for example, rheumatoid arthritis), skin disease and asthma. Whereas traditionally only a small repertoire of immunosuppressive agents was available for clinical use, recent discoveries have significantly increased the number of approved agents, resulting in numerous trials to further evaluate their potential. There is also considerable interest in the potential of cell-based therapies (particularly hematopoietic stem and dendritic cell therapy) of allo- and autoimmunity. Important recent advances in the immunotherapy of allergic diseases are also covered in this book. This volume is intended both for practising physicians and surgeons and for biomedical scientists at the graduate/postdoctoral levels, and is designed to provide the theory behind these various approaches to immunosuppression, and to provide state-of-the-art reviews of current developments in each area.

This book presents the latest information on canine parasites with zoonotic potential, to help avoid human infections. Compiled by international specialists, it covers protozoa, ectoparasites and helminth species of clinical importance in dogs, as well as the state of the art in diagnosis, preventive measures and potentially necessary treatment schemes. Dogs are commonly kept in families around the world and can predispose their human companions to disease. Updating and deepening insights from other specialist literature, the book is intended for practitioners and scientists alike. It also offers practical guidance for veterinary and human physicians and highlights unexplored research areas, making it a valuable resource for students and educated non-experts with an interest in parasitology, infectiology and zoonotic pet diseases.
