Abstract: "Emerging Protozoan Pathogens is a thorough reference guide to the understanding of the biology, genomics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatments of all major emerging protozoan pathogens. It specifically highlights the new unicellular microrganisms that cause disease in humans and other animals. All topics are covered in a concise fashion ensuring an ideal platform for further research and life-long learning." "Written by subject experts, this volume provides a valuable resource for microbiologists and molecular and cell biologists at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as health professionals and researchers who are interested in the study of emerging protozoan pathogens."--BOOK JACKET.
