The well-structured chapters explore in detail the epidemiology and biology of these parasitic diseases. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches as well as prevention strategies are also reviewed. Furthermore, the book discusses the burden of disease in sub-Saharan Africa, taking into account the social and economic impact on the region and its health system. The book is aimed at researchers, advanced students and clinicians working on infectious diseases, tropical medicine and parasitology, and is a must-read for scientists specialising in the particularities of the sub-Saharan region. 0aParasitology. 0aMedical microbiology. 0aTropical medicine. 0aPublic health. 0aDiseases.14aParasitology.24aMedical Microbiology.24aTropical Medicine.24aPublic Health.24aDiseases.1 aGyapong, John O.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aBoatin, Boakye A.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303153900808iPrinted edition:z978303153902208iPrinted edition:z9783031539039 0aNeglected Tropical Diseases,x2194-828340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-53901-5
