Toxoplasmosis of Animals and Humans, 3rd Edition, is a reference that gathers findings on Toxoplasma gondii infections in humans and animals into a single resource. Author J. P. Dubey synthesizes the scientific literature across multiple decades of research on the parasite.
Coverage addresses general parasite biology, investigative techniques, and infection across human populations, companion animals, livestock, and diverse wildlife. The book also notes the organism's dual significance as a model for apicomplexan cell biology and as a potential bioterrorism agent.
The 2022 edition added an introductory chapter on history and expanded treatment of parasite biology. Drawing on Dubey's extensive host research, the text serves researchers, graduate students, and professionals working in parasitology and veterinary health.
