This is a great pleasure to write the foreword to the eighth edition of Paniker's Textbook of Medical
Parasitology dealing with medically important parasites vis-a-vis human diseases caused by them.
The parasitic infections (protozoa! and helminthic) are still major cause of high morbidity as well
as mortality of substantial number of population residing in the developing world of tropical and
subtropical regions. The clinical presentations of parasit ic diseases have also significantly evolved
with the passage of time. Malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax has never been life-threatening but
now it is presenting with renal failure as well as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) thereby
leading to fatal consequences. On the other hand, some of the infections such as dracunculiasis
have been eradicated from India and others are the next targets being in the pipeline.
There are a number of novel diagnostic techniques, which are being designed for rapid
diagnosis of various parasitic diseases and accurate identification of their causative pathogens.
The non-invasive imaging techniques, both MRI and CT scans, are proving to be very useful tools for an early diagnosis thereby delineating the extent of disease in a particular patient. Therefore, to cope up with the changing epidemiological scenario and newer diagnostic modalities, medical students and professionals involved in the patient care need updates from time to time. Dr Sougata Ghosh (Editor), has done a remarkable job of going through the voluminous information and presenting it in a very lucid, concise and reproducible manner.
This edition will ideally be suited for medical students and resident doctors, who are preparing for various examinations entrance tests. I feel the present edition will also be appreciated by students and teaching faculties in all disciplines of medicine. The chapter on pneumocystosis has been removed, however, on sporozoa dealing with diseases caused by
different species of microsporidia, traditionally retained in this edition, despite the fact that it has also been shifted now to the kingdom fungi like Pneumocystis jirovecii.
The unique feature of the textbook is that it has many illustrations, photographs of cl inical specimens and photomicrographs with an easy-to-read and understand format. This will help the students to memorize the information given in the text easily as well as to use the same in medical practice. Each chapter has key points with a set of multiple choice questions (MCQs), which will help a student for better understanding and preparation before the examination. Although it is meant for medical graduates, recent advances mentioned in this book will also be useful for the postgraduates.
The original author, Professor CK Jayaram Paniker, was an experienced and enthusiastic medical teacher, and we recently lost him. Moreover, he was a legendary microbiologist and the author of numerous valuable textbooks, part icularly co-author of Ananthanarayan's Textbook of Microbiology. His name has been retained as such in the title of the eighth edition of this textbook is a great honor and real tribute to him thereby continuing his legacy to attain more heights in the field of medical parasitology even in his physical absence. I hope that this textbook will continue to benefit the medical
students and faculties for many years as it has done during the last three decades.

PREFACE TO THE EIGHTH EDITION
The previous editions of Paniker's Textbook of Medical Parasitology have been widely accepted by the medical students and teachers across India and abroad for almost three decades.
Medical science is not a static art. Methods of diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections change constantly. To keep pace with these developments, all the chapters of present edition have been thoroughly revised and expanded, providing up-to-date epidemiological data, new diagnostic methods and recent treatment guidelines of parasitic infections.
In the current edition, many new tables, flow charts and photographs of specimens and microscopic view pictures have been added for better comprehension of the subject.
Recent advances such as vaccinology of malaria and leishmaniasis, malarial drug resistance, new treatment protocols of different parasitic infections are the salient features of the book.
The aim of the contents of the book remains same in this edition, that is compact yet informative and useful for both graduate and postgraduate students.
Like the last edition, the present edition is also designed in a colorful format, which can be easily read and comprehended. Important points and terms have been highlighted by making them bold and italic. At the end of each chapter, the must-know facts are given as "Key Points" in box formats for quick recapitulation. Important multiple choice questions (MCQs) and review questions from various university examinations' papers have been added to test and reinforce understanding of the topics by the students.
