The accumulation of new knowledge over the last several years has provided the impetus for this, the 7th edition of Parasitic Diseases. By integrating all the salient information contained in over 1000 new references with the current descriptions of each pathogen, we continue the never-ending process of evaluating, revising, and improving our understanding of these parasitic organisms. New features to the 7th edition include a clinical summary section, additional life cycle diagrams and a pronouncer’s guide to parasite names. Consideration of the biographies of those notable contributors to the field of parasitology has also been extended. Parasites Without Borders continues to make available, free of charge, the PDF version of Parasitic Diseases in both English and Spanish editions.

New features for the 7th edition are many including this separate clinical appendix.

Clincal Appendix for the Seventh Edition Parasitic Diseases

Remarkable achievements in parasitic disease research, both basic and translational, have occurred over the last ten years, and we have incorporated the majority of these into the 6th edition of Parasitic Diseases. We have added over 1,000 new references to document these advances. Innovative work in the laboratory has provided the clinician/research scientist with a much clearer understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis. The number of recently discovered interleukins and their cellular networks has completely re-ordered our comprehension of how parasites and our defense system works to produce protection against infection/reinfection, or in some cases, how it becomes subverted by the offending pathogen to enable it to endure inside us for long periods of time. A plethora of molecular-based diagnostic tests have found their way into the routine of the parasitology diagnostic laboratory, improving the ease at which the offending pathogen can be rapidly identifed. Newer drugs, many with less harmful side-effects than the ones they replaced, have come on the market that make controlling parasite populations at the community level possible without the risk of harming the very ones we wish to help.

Dedicamos nuestra 6ª edición al presidente Jimmy Carter y a William Campbell. Queremos reconocer el liderazgo y el apoyo del Presidente Carter para la erradicación y la eliminación de las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas, como un elemento central para aliviar el sufrimiento y mejorar la vida de las poblaciones más desfavorecidas del mundo. Queremos reconocer a William Cambell como uno de los responsables de la droga milagrosa, la ivermectina. Por su excelente trabajo, recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 2015.
