Research in Protozoology is the third book in a four-volume series on protozoological research. Like the previous two, this volume covers the cytology, parasitology, fibrillar systems, and genetics of protozoans. This volume explores the immunological aspects of infections caused by protozoans, identifies the organisms that live in and on protozoans, and describes the pathogenic and metabolic pathway of protozon infections. It also discusses the protozoan fibrillar system and the macronucleus of ciliates. This book will be of interest to persons dealing with studies on the genetics aspects, cytology and parasitology of protozoans.

The protozoa are an eclectic assemblage of organisms encompassing a wide range of single-celled and multiple-celled colonial organisms lacking tissue organiza tion, but exhibiting remarkably refined biological behavior. In some modern classifications, they are classified as a subkingdom among the Protista (eukary otic single-celled organisms). Although they are not considered a formal cate gory by some taxonomists and some biologists consider the name inappropriate (inferring that they are the first unicellular animals, although some photosynthe size), it is still convenient to consider this group of organisms as an informal collection under the heading of protozoa. Their cosmopolitan distribution, sig nificant ecological role in mineral recycling and enhancement of carbon flow through lower trophic levels of food webs, and remarkable cellular adaptations to enhance survival in diverse environments make them significant organisms for biological investigation. In some cases, biologists are introduced to this group in first level courses or in invertebrate zoology, but never develop a full appreciation for the diverse and biologically sophisticated characteristics of these organisms. This book is intended as a survey of broad concepts in protozoan biology with an emphasis on comparative data. The focus is on the zoological aspects of the group. Topics more closely related to plantlike characteristics, as presented in books on phycol ogy, are not considered in detail here. A sound background in modern biology and an introduction to cellular biology will be helpful in understanding Chapters 15 and 16, which include a substantial amount of information on biochemistry.

Updated and much expanded, the Second Edition of Parasitic Protozoa is designed to be useful to physicians, veterinarians, and research scientists concerned with diseases caused by protozoa in man, and in domestic and wild animals including fish, mollusks and insects, as well as the more commonly considered vertebrate animals. Each section contains information on disease pathogens, treatment, diagnosis, and epidemiology of the diseases caused by the various protozoans. The book is not limited to these medically-oriented subjects, but treats taxonomy, morphology, and metabolism of the organisms in such a way as to be of interest to scientists and graduate students working in the field of protozoology. The entire edition, published in ten volumes, is arranged so that subjects of common interest occupy individual volumes.

Excerpt from Problems and Methods of Research in Protozoölogy Certain protozoa are of great importance to medical men, espe cially those interested in tropical medicine, and to veterinarians since these organisms may be pathogenic parasites of man or domesticated animals. Hence we find that diseases in man and other animals due to these protozoa are being investigated in medi cal and veterinary schools. In, these investigations attention is directed primarily to the effects of the parasitic invasion on the host and the studies of the parasites themselves are undertaken with particular reference to their relations to the host.
