PARA-SITE was produced as an educational initiative of the Australian Society for Parasitology, the University of Queensland and the Australian Biological Resources Study by Professor Peter O’Donoghue, Brisbane, Australia [ISBN 978-1-74272-501-7].
PARA-SITE provides basic information about parasites causing disease in animals and people, covering parasite morphology (fundamental to taxonomy), host range (species specificity), site of infection (tissue/organ tropism), parasite pathogenicity (disease potential), modes of transmissions (spread of infections), differential diagnosis (detection of infections); and treatment and control (cure and prevention).
