Sommario/riassunto |
|
This reference work gives comprehensive coverage of the biology and control of African, Asian and South American trypanosomiasis in man and animals. It describes recent research developments in the biology and molecular biology of trypanosomes and their vectors, and methods in diagnosis and control, such as tsetse trapping. Different sections of the book are devoted to biology of trypanosomes, vector biology, epidemiology and diagnosis, pathogenesis, disease impact, chemotherapy and disease control, and vector control. Leading experts from Europe, North and South America, and Africa have contr |
