Since the early beginnings of human life on earth, riverbanks have been used as settlement sites, to provide food and for transport. However, since the oldest human cultures many agents of diseases have also spread along these rivers. Written by leading international parasitologists and physicians, this book discusses the involvement of rivers in the spread of diseases, but also their contributions to the development and destruction of human cultures. Examining past and current data, it shows how important and vulnerable river regions are and how they are increasingly endangered by pollution. 410 0$aParasitology Research Monographs,$x2192-3671 ;$v12 606 $aParasitology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aAquatic ecology 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aParasitology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 606 $aVeterinary Microbiology, Parasitology and Infectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H67020 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aEpidemiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H63000 606 $aParasitologia$2thub 606 $aCursos d'aigua$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aAquatic ecology. 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 615 24$aVeterinary Microbiology, Parasitology and Infectious Diseases. 615 24$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 615 24$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 615 7$aParasitologia 615 7$aCursos d'aigua 676 $a616.96 702 $aMehlhorn$b Heinz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKlimpel$b Sven$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373914803321 996 $aParasite and Disease Spread by Major Rivers on Earth$92287904 997 $aUNINA
