The Nile on eBay FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Fish Diseases and Disorders, Volume 1: Protozoan and Metazoan Infections by Patrick T.K. Woo With a focus on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish, significant changes to this second edition include the addition of three new chapters and new authors of four of the original chapters. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Fish is the principal source of protein for people in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries. While most fish are caught from nature, aquaculture or fish farming is now making a significant contribution to total fish production. More intensive conditions of aquaculture often result in a higher incidence of fish diseases and disorders. As in the first edition, the focus of this second edition is on protozoan and metazoan parasites that cause disease in fish. Significant changes to this second edition include the addition of 3 new chapters and 4 of the original chapters have new authors. Author Biography Patrick T K Woo (ptkw) is University Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph, and has been a faculty member since 1974. His research program focused on parasitic flagellates which included those of medical and economic importance. The program had continuous NSERC support for over 40 years, until he closed his laboratory at U of G so he could, with his co-editors, focus on formulating and editing an interdisciplinary book series on 'climate change and fish health'. Patrick's research and travels, sponsored by other agencies (e.g. FAO, United Nations; NUS, Singapore; CNPq, Brazil; MEC, Spain; NEC, Cdn.; CIDA, Cdn.; IDRC, Cdn) allowed him to work with colleagues in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas (e.g. 'determine the toxicity of cadmium on tilapia and its effects on immune response' in Singapore; 'develop and evaluate diagnostic techniques for human trypanosomiasis' in E & W Africa; 'adapt an in vitro method to study fish innate immunity' in Spain). In addition to publishing papers and review articles in journals and books, Patrick edited a special journal issue and 14 academic books on fish health. He also founded 'The Roy C Anderson Memorial Lecture in Parasitology'; eminent scientists including a Nobel Laureate had accepted his invitations and presented lectures at the University of Guelph. He has also consulted to industry, universities and government agencies.
