Features: This textbook includes six chapters: General Introduction, Medical Helminths, Medical Protozoa, Medical Arthropods, Laboratory Diagnosis Techniques for Parasitic Diseases, and Fixation and Preservation of Parasite Specimens. At the end of the book, there are also main references and a bilingual glossary. According to the requirements of cultivating applied talents, the technical operation sections are written in detail, but methods that are rarely used today (such as the cercarial precipitation test and the posterior larval membrane reaction) are no longer included. Additionally, based on recent reports of parasitic cases over the past few years, Guangzhou roundworm and heterophyid worms have been added to the section on medical helminths, Entamoeba histolytica has been added to the section on medical protozoa, and chigger mites have been added to the section on medical arthropods. Through studying this book, students will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of parasitic testing techniques and develop strong practical application skills but also acquire basic knowledge points related to the prevention and control of parasitic diseases and other insect-borne diseases.
