Chagas Disease: History of a Continent's Scourge
ISBN: 9780823242498 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Francois Delaporte's Chagas Disease chronicles Brazilian medicine's encounter with a disease, an insect, and a history of discovery. Between 1909 and 1911, Carlos Chagas described an infection (pathogenic trypanosome), its intermediate host, and the illness that he believed it caused, parasitic thyroiditis. Chagas's work did not lack significance: the disease that came to share his name would be one of Latin America's most serious endemic diseases. However, the clinical identification of the disease through "Romana's sign" (a palpebral edema or swelling of the eyelid) some...

Schistosomes and Schistosomiasis in South Asia
ISBN: 9788132205388 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Even these scientists have to visit endemic countries for field trials or ask their counterparts to collect field data (which this book addresses ). Thus this book is not on molecular fundamentals but on the infection itself; how schistosome species are responding to the drug; sensitivity and specificity of immunodiagnostic kits, antigen...
