Features: The book consists of five parts: General Introduction, Medical Helminthology, Medical Protozoology, Medical Arthropodology, and Parasitological Experimental Techniques. The General Introduction primarily elaborates on the definition, research content, and discipline overview of human parasitology. The three parts—Medical Helminthology, Medical Protozoology, and Medical Arthropodology—are organized according to the biological classification of parasites. Each class of parasites forms a chapter, with an overall overview provided first, followed by detailed discussions of the parasites within that class. At the end of each chapter, a summary of the described parasites is listed. Considering the limited class hours, some parasites that are not severely prevalent or pose minor harm in Henan Province have been omitted. The fifth part, Parasitological Experimental Techniques, lists common experimental methods such as parasite culture and preservation, pathological diagnosis, and immunological diagnosis. Its purpose is to facilitate students' reference rather than serve as classroom teaching content.
