This new book, the first since 1976 to address all aspects of microsporidia and microsporidiosis, provides biologists, physicians, and research scientists with a complete, modern view of this increasingly important group of parasites. Written by the foremost experts in the field, The Microsporidia and Microsporidiosis addresses structure, molecular biology, pathology, clinical disease in humans and animals, diagnosis, and treatment. It is copiously illustrated, with many color figures, and includes the latest methodologies for the study and diagnosis of microsporidia, as well as in vitro cultivation methods
