Through all of the recent progress and publications on Schistosoma haematobium, S. mansoni and S. japonicum and diseases these parasites cause in human beings - engulfing Africa, South America and East Asia, it has become necessary to fill the gaps from South Asia perspective too, especially India from where many mammalian schistosome species have been discovered namely Schistosoma indicum, and S. spindale, S. nasale, S. incognitum, Orientobilharzia dattai, O. bomfordi, and Bivitellobilharzia nairi. The history of schistosomes and schistosomiasis in Indian continent is more than hundred years old and a lot of research has been done to understand the infection in South Asian region. Authoritative and concise, Schistosomes and Schistosomiasis in South Asia covers all aspects of these schistosomes starting from taxonomy to life cycle, epidemiology, immunity, pathology, diagnosis (both parasitic and immunological diagnosis), chemotherapy and control. The book covers not only hepatic and nasal schistosomiasis in animals but also all the details on human schistosomiasis reported from this continent. There are also chapters which cover on experimental schistosome infections in laboratory animals and technologies developed for studying schistosomiasis.

Without a doubt the recently accelerating globalization supports the import of agents of disease into countries where they never had been or where they had long since been eradicated, leading to a false sense of living on a safe island.  These newly imported or reintroduced diseases - called emerging diseases  - may lead to severe outbreaks in cases where the countries are not prepared to combat them, or in cases where viruses are introduced that cannot be controlled by medications or vaccines.  Arthropods are well known vectors for the spread of diseases. Thus their invasion from foreign countries and their spreading close to human dwellings must be blocked everywhere (in donor and receptor countries) using safe and effective measures.  This book presents reviews on examples of such arthropod-borne emerging diseases that lurk on the fringes of our crowded megacities. The following topics show that there is an ongoing invasion of potential vectors and that control measures must be used now in order to avoid disastrous outbreaks of mass diseases.

Malaria has defeated previous efforts at eradication and remains a massive global public health problem despite being readily preventable and treatable. It is a devastating disease that also extracts huge economic costs from the poorest countries in endemic regions.   Starting with an overview of the disease and its current political, financial and technical context, this Milestones in Drug Therapy volume describes the history, chemistry, mechanisms of action and resistance, preclinical and clinical use, pharmacokinetics and safety and tolerability of the current range of antimalarial drugs. There is particular emphasis on artemisinins and related peroxides, as these drugs have now become the frontline treatment for malaria. Next generation antimalarials, molecular markers for detecting resistance, the importance of diagnostics and disease prevention are also covered in detail.
