Main description:

Parasiticide Discovery: In Vitro and In Vivo Tests with Relevant Parasite Rearing and Host Infection/Infestation Methods, Volume Two presents valuable screening methods that have led to the discovery of the majority of parasiticides commercialized in the animal health industry. As much of the knowledge of parasiticide discovery methods is being lost in the animal health industry as seasoned parasitologists retire, this book serves to preserve valuable methods that have led to the discovery of the majority of parasiticides commercialized in animal health, also giving insights into the in vitro and in vivo methods used to identify the parasiticide activity of compounds.

Contents:

1. In Vitro Parasiticide Discovery Screening Methods by Parasite Species 2. In vivo Parasiticide Discovery Screening Methods by Host Species 3. Statistical Considerations of Parasiticide Screening Methods and Confirmation Trials
