This reference book includes comprehensive coverage of the biology and control of African, Asian and South American trypanosomiasis in man and animals. It describes recent research developments in the biology and molecular biology of trypanosomes and their vectors, and methods in diagnosis and control, such as tsetse trapping. Different sections of the book are devoted to biology of trypanosomes (part 1), vector biology (part 2), epidemiology and diagnosis (part 3), pathogenesis (part 4), disease impact (part 5), chemotherapy and disease control (part 6), and vector control (part 7). This book is intended for researchers in the areas of parasitology, medical and veterinary science, and biology, and for public health and veterinary staff and international agencies concerned with reducing mortality and morbidity due to trypanosomiasis.
