Colorful Guide of Parasitology for Medical Laboratory Students

Medical parasitology is the science that studies the relationship between two organisms, one of them is the small parasite that feeds on the other organism which is the host and the relationship between them is called parasitism. The parasites spread around us in the air, water, and soil and contaminate our food, as well as transmitted to humans through contact with animals, causing many diseases that require proper diagnosis to provide the correct treatment. This booklet includes a set of fixed stained slides of different parasitic stages including helminthological and protozoal specimens, as a guide for students to help them identify the different stages of human parasites, distinguish them under a light microscope, and include also illustrations to help understanding the internal structure of the samples.Since the identification of parasitic samples is one of the most problems facing students and workers in this field, this guide can help many students of medical parasitology in human medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, applied medical sciences and medical laboratory students, and serve as a guide for them to identify different parasitic stages under microscope.
