Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book serves as an introduction to the study of Protozoa, a vast group of minute, and often overlooked, organisms that exhibit a wide range of structural and developmental characters. The author's intention is not to provide a comprehensive treatise but rather to serve as a guide to those with some general knowledge of biology who desire a closer acquaintance with the specialized problems presented by Protozoa. The author attempts to define the position of Protozoa in nature, determining exactly what should be included and excluded from the group. The book also guides the student through the technicalities of the subject, explaining terms and presenting a systematic classification based on mutual affinities. Protozoa exhibit a wide range of modes of life; some are plant-like while others are animal-like, and some even live as parasites. The author presents an in-depth discussion of the challenges of parasitism and its effects on both host and parasite. The concluding chapters provide a thorough examination of the physiology of protozoa, including topics such as nutrition, respiration, and reproduction. The author highlights the importance of understanding Protozoa, not only from a purely scientific perspective but also due to their great practical importance in medical and veterinary fields. The insights presented in this book will undoubtedly contribute to a deeper understanding of these fascinating organisms and their significance in the natural world.
