It comprehensively covers the complex and dynamic interaction between the parasite and its host ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates. Following an integrated approach, the authors explain how the study of parasites requires an understanding of biological concepts such as growth and reproduction, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, and pathology. In this second edition, they further address parasites and parasite relationships in the grand scheme of global changes and their impact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis textbook also reviews the often-neglected positive aspects of parasite infections and how humans have used parasites for their own advantage.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eParasitology: An Integrated Approach, 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e edition\u003c\/i\u003e includes supplementary learning resources such as se\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Animal Associations and the Importance of Parasites 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Animal Associations 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Parasite Hosts 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Zoonotic Infections 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 The Co-evolution of Parasites and Their Hosts 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Parasitism as a 'Lifestyle': Advantages and Limitations 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 The Economic Cost of Parasitic Diseases 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.8 Why Parasitic Diseases Remain a Problem 22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Taxonomy 27\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Introduction 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Viruses: A Special (Unresolved) Case 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Taxonomic Hierarchy 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Kingdom Protista 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Kingdom Animalia 31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Parasitic Protozoa Part A: Phyla Rhizopoda, Metamonada, Apicomplexa 33\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Introduction 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Phylum Rhizopoda 34\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Phylum Metamonada 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Phylum Apicomplexa 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Subclass Coccidiasina 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Parasitic Protozoa Part B: Phylum Kinetoplastida;
