This chapter discusses the major parasitic diseases, including protozoan diseases (amebiasis, malaria), helminthic infections (as-cariasis, enterobiasis), and ectoparasitic infestations (head and body lice). Emphasis is placed on diseases seen more frequently in the... 

Resistance among endoparasites and ectoparasites, such as those that cause malaria and schistosomiasis in humans, or for animal nematodes, is a well-recognized problem. In veterinary medicine, integrated parasite control and rotation of different parasiticides has been used to slow development of resistance. For many parasites, current agents are very effective. Due to host specificity, there has been little problem with zoonotic human disease caused by resistant animal parasites.
