Diseases associated with  these worms are generally separated into two categories: filariasis,  caused by infections of lymphatic dwelling parasites and  onchocerciasis, or river blindness, caused by infections of Onchocerca  volvulus. Other filariae specifically infect humans and it is likely  that zoonotic filarial infections may alter the outcome of infections  with human parasites. The chapters in this book will cover concepts  that, in most instances, overlap all of these parasites as well as  focus on new and emerging ideas.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eThe Filaria\u003c\/em\u003e, volume five of World Class Parasites, is written  for researchers, students and scholars who enjoy reading research that  has a major impact on human health, or agricultural productivity, and  against which we have no satisfactory defense. It is intended to  supplement more formal texts that cover taxonomy, life cycles,  morphology, vector distribution, symptoms and treatment. It integrates  vector, pathogen and host biology and celebrates the diversity of  approach that comprises modern parasitological research.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThomas R.
