        Snail Girl

        by Cai Gao

        Once upon a time, there was a poor young man who lived alone. One day, he picked up a snail on the riverside and took it home. Since then, he could see a table of hot meal as long as he came back home. He was surprised to find that all these were cooked by a girl, who was changed out from the snail. It turned out that the girl was a goddess, who wanted to thank the young man for saving her life.

        Parasitology

        A Research Guide

        by M.C. Agrawal

        Join research and be a celebrity: You are well aware about Galileo, Newton, Fleming, Edward Jenner, Charles Darwin, Ronald Rose etc who have born centuries ago but still remembered for their path breaking research. This is the power of research which is unparallel to any other profession. Sadly, our young generation is not well versed with research as career and have developed some wrong notions about it. If you are intelligent, diligent and wish to make some achievement in your life, why dont join a research career. Even richest persons of the world (Noble, Ruther Ford, Billgate, Narain Murthy etc.) are those who made some innovations in their life. Alternatively, if you consider to pass life as a mission, you may join research in parasitic diseases, a less travelled path, which will help you to serve the humanity by finding some new ideas which will help in eradicating diseases of humans and his animals. This is the book which will provide you some details how you may join research activities in Parasitology and carry over research work in your life.

        Human Language, Snail Shell

        by Cai Jilang

        The paper is a demonstration of Professor CAI's teaching achievements in the last ten years. It uses popular life examples to illustrate important concepts in Chinese language, such as the beauty and fickleness of language, language and violence, the birth of difference, starting from "eating is not for eating" and so on. A word can turn friends against each other and make many cry! This is the power of language, the power to change everything! Explore the secret of linguistics, insight into the code of human interaction! This is an interesting and academic book, a knowledge book for the general reader.

        The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative

        by Alan Fenwick, Wendie Norris, Becky McCall

        Schistosomiasis is Africa's second most prevalent infectious disease, but in many high-risk areas the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI) has helped achieve up to a 75% reduction in its prevalence. Exploring the work and experiences involved in forming, establishing and managing a health intervention such as the SCI, this book divulges important lessons for anyone looking to replicate its success. Widely recognised as a cost-effective and successful intervention, its knock-on effects include improving overall physical health, school attendance and future prospects. Evaluating the SCI's development, implementation and results through an engaging personal story and written in an approachable style, this book covers: - Key strategic challenges faced and how the SCI overcame them to achieve and maintain low infection rates; - Methods used for raising funding for control and drug donations; - Mobilisation and mechanics of partnerships to facilitate supply and access to drugs; - Nature of working relationships and implementation across Africa; - Ways in which schistosomiasis control can be integrated into, and serve as a model for, other Neglected Tropical Disease programmes (NTD). Written from Professor Alan Fenwick's unique perspective as Director of the SCI, The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, health professionals and students in the fields of NTD control and global health.

        The Cell Biology of Schistosomes

        The Cell Biology of Schistosomes

        Implications for Diagnostics and Vaccines

        by R. Alan Wilson

        Infection with schistosomes remains one of the most important Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) of humans on the World Health Organisation's list; eliminating schistosomiasis within the next decade is a key goal of the WHO. These helminths are flatworms with a solid body plan differentiated into tissues and organs. This presents problems for studies of their basic cell biology, which initially relied on histology and ultrastructure. Keynote publications of transcriptome sequences in 2003, and the first genome assemblies in 2009, stimulated novel investigations of the underlying cellular processes. Tissue disaggregation methods allowed isolation of individual cells for transcriptome analysis and categorisation into discrete populations. Confocal microscopy then established sites of gene expression and protein localisation in the intact parasite. The contents cover the: -Complexities of asexual multiplication within the snail intermediate host. -Infective processes of the miracidial and cercarial larvae. -Intravascular migration to the sites of parasitisation in the vertebrate host. -Intricacies of the nervous system in all life cycle stages. -Definition of the parasite products that represent the parasite/host interface, from which vaccine candidates must derive. -Reproductive processes, and the egg as the agent for transmission and pathology. This book assembles in a single volume the results of decades of global research to provide a clear and succinct description of current knowledge of schistosome cell biology. It is written by a prominent, well-recognised and respected scientist with a long history of outstanding research and publication in the area. Despite decades of research, an effective vaccine is not imminent. The diagnosis of single worm pair infections is also yet to be obtained. It is hoped that the information presented in this monograph will stimulate further work towards the goal of schistosome eradication.

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

        A Handbook on Plant Health Medicines

        by Suresh G. Borkar

        The book "A Handbook on Plant Health Medicines" stands out among other plant protection books due to its highly illustrative content. Its primary objective is to disseminate scientific and practical knowledge about plant protection and health medicines to agricultural personnel and farmers. The book is divided into three sections with a total of 30 chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of plant health management. These sections cover chemical molecules for disease control, chemical molecules for physiological disorders, and pesticides for insect management. The book also includes images of representative diseases, pests, and mineral deficiency symptoms to aid in identification and treatment. By making this book accessible to pesticide shop dealers and farmers, the authors aim to improve plant health management in the agricultural ecosystem.
