Medical Zoology: Parasites and Vectors for Life Science and Allied Health Students presents a clear and systematic approach to organisms that influence human health. Written by Prof Fazal Ahmad, this book builds a strong biological foundation for understanding parasites, vectors, and their role in disease.
The text bridges basic zoology with applied medical science. It explains classification, morphology, life cycles, host parasite relationships, organ localization, transmission, and laboratory diagnosis in a simplified yet academically sound manner. Emphasis is placed on conceptual clarity, structured learning, and syllabus alignment for undergraduate and allied health programs.Covering protozoa, helminths, arthropod vectors, zoonoses, and principles of prevention and control, the book integrates theory with practical health relevance. Comparative tables and organized frameworks make complex topics easier to understand and retain.
Designed for students of zoology, medical laboratory technology, public health, nursing, radiology, and paramedical sciences, this book serves as both a core textbook and a reliable reference. Clinical drug protocols are excluded to maintain focus on biological and laboratory aspects.
Medical Zoology is a concept driven guide that strengthens diagnostic thinking and reinforces the biological basis of parasitic diseases.
