Giardia

This book covers all aspects of research into Giardiaas an organism and giardiasis the disease. Based on papers presented at the 2000 Giardia in the Rockies conference, held in Alberta, Canada, it contains contributions from leading international experts. Includes chapters on: biochemistry, biology, detection and diagnosis, host-parasite relationships, zoonotic transmission and epidemiology, therapeutics and new drug targetswater treatment, legislation and policy, Giardiain companion animals, in farm animals, and as a public health problem.
