Abstract

"Introduction to Helminthology" provides a comprehensive overview of parasitic worms, or helminths, encompassing their biology, ecology, and impact on human and animal health. The book explores the diversity of helminths, ranging from nematodes to cestodes and trematodes, and examines their life cycles, transmission dynamics, and interactions with hosts. Key topics include the epidemiology and control of helminthic infections, the evolution of host-parasite relationships, and the role of helminths in shaping ecosystems. Drawing on recent research and classic studies, this text serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and healthcare professionals interested in helminthology and parasitology.
