Zoonoses and communicable diseases common to man and animals: Volume III: Parasitoses

Abstract

[From the Introduction]: This new edition of Zoonoses and Communicable Diseases Common to Man and Animals is published in three volumes: I. Bacterioses and mycoses; II. Chlamydioses and rickettsioses, and viroses; and III. Parasitoses. Each of the five parts corresponds to the location of the etiologic agents in the biological classification; for practical purposes, chlamydias and rickettsias are grouped together. In each part, the diseases are listed in alphabetical order to facilitate reader searches. There is also an alphabetical index, which includes synonyms of the diseases and the etiologic agents’ names. In this edition, the numbers and names of the diseases according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), are listed below the disease title. However, some zoonoses are not included in ICD-10 and are difficult to classify within the current scheme.
