مدل‌های ریاضی برای بیماری‌های گرمسیری نادیده گرفته شده: ابزارهای ضروری برای کنترل و حذف، بخش الف (جلد ۸۷)

First published in 1963, __Advances in Parasitology__ contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. __Advances in Parasitology__ includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as __Plasmodium falciparum__ and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which shape current thinking and applications. The 2013 impact factor is 4.36. \* Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field \* Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts Content: Front Cover Advances in Parasitology Mathematical Models for Neglected Tropical Diseases: Essential Tools for Control and Elimination, P ...
