Amebiasis Biology and Pathogenesis of Entamoeba

Amebiasis Biology and Pathogenesis of Entamoeba / edited by Tomoyoshi Nozaki, Alok Bhattacharya.

This book documents and presents new developments in the study of amebiasis, one of the neglected tropical diseases. Nearly 50 million people worldwide are infected with the pathogen Entamoeba histolytica, causing large-scale morbidity and mortality particularly in developing countries. This book wi...
