Product Details

About the Book

Paniker's Textbook of Medical Parasitology by Sougata Ghosh is a widely trusted and extensively used textbook covering medical parasitology, the branch of medical science dealing with organisms that live temporarily or permanently on or within the human body. Originally developed by the late C.K. Jayaram Paniker and now revised and edited by Dr. Sougata Ghosh, the book has become a standard reference for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students studying parasitology across South Asia.

Recognizing that medical science is not static, and that diagnostic methods and treatment approaches for parasitic infections change constantly, the book has been thoroughly revised and expanded in its current edition to reflect the latest advances in the field, including new diagnostic methods and updated treatment guidelines. The textbook is written specifically to align with the latest competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum set by the National Medical Commission (NMC) for MBBS and MD Microbiology students in India. A distinctive addition in the current edition is a new section on Systemic Parasitology, organized by individual body systems such as cardiovascular, respiratory, and central nervous systems, each paired with case-based studies and answers to align directly with CBME learning objectives. The book also features numerous new photographs, CT scan, X-ray, and USG images, along with new MCQs, tables, and flowcharts designed to strengthen comprehension. Each chapter concludes with a concise "Key Points" box for quick revision, along with case-based MCQs and answers to help students test and reinforce their understanding as they prepare for examinations.
