Description:
The first edition of Markell and Voge’s Medical Parasitology was published 48 years ago in 1958 under the title of Diagnostic Medical Parasitology. The name was abbreviated to Medical
Parasitology with the second edition and remained as such until the eighth edition, at which time the current title was adopted. Marietta Voge passed away in 1984 at the age of 66 and
Edward Markell in 1998 at the age of 80. The present edition is the first revision that one or both of them have not been involved with.
By way of historical note, Dr. Markell received his PhD in zoology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1942 and his MD from Stanford University in 1951. Dr. Voge
received her PhD also from the University of California, Berkeley in 1950.They were both assistant professors at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine when
they published the first edition of Medical Parasitology.
This book is intended primarily for the medical student and the physician, but it is equally useful to the medical technologist and others who are concerned with the laboratory
identification of the parasites of humans.All the chapters have been thoroughly updated and give current information on the life cycles of the human parasites and on the epidemiology,
immunology, diagnosis, and treatment of the diseases they cause.
