Comparative Protozoology - Ecology, Physiology, Life History

This is a comprehensive treatment of the modern biology of protozoa in a comparative format. The major groups, including parasitic and free-living species, are described with respect to their morphology, ecology, functional microanatomy, biochemistry, physiology, life histories, and principles of genetics. The text is intended as an introduction to protozoology for advanced students of biology and parasitology, and as a reference book for a broader understanding of current developments in protozoan biology. In addition, major sections of most chapters have been subdivided according to major protozoan taxonomic groups, thus permitting the reader to selectively follow information across chapters about a given protozoan group.
