It is a hotspot region for parasitic diseases. Currently, information on parasitic infections and vectors found in Southeast Asia is sporadic and there has been no attempt to extensively collate and integrate these data. Gaps in our knowledge, which include disease patterns, transmission dynamics and vectors still exist. This book highlights parasitic diseases that are peculiar to Southeast Asia, pinpoints similarities and differences between disease patterns in the respective member countries and provide information on new emerging parasitic diseases in this region. Critically, this book will heighten understanding of parasitic diseases and their vectors in this diverse region and this knowledge will be significant for future regional research efforts in this field. 606 $aParasitology 606 $aInfectious diseases 606 $aParasitology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B19002 606 $aInfectious Diseases$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096 607 $aSoutheast Asia$2fast 615 0$aParasitology. 615 0$aInfectious diseases. 615 14$aParasitology. 615 24$aInfectious Diseases. 676 $a616.9 676 $a616.9/6 676 $a616.96 702 $aLim$b Yvonne Ai Lian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVythilingam$b Indra$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437848603321 996 $aParasites and their vectors$92509597 997 $aUNINA
