"Can you recommend books with useful knowledge about the parasites and the treatments ?"

Naturally, but

1. Do not treat based on the books yoursefl without diagnosis with doctor following books....The books are mainly helpefull to check out if your doctor know what he do or not...

2. It is very easy when first reading one or two of these books to just look to match symptoms, unfortunately if you carefully read many of the books you will find many many infections have very overlapping symptoms, many books just mention the most severe late stage symptoms...so the right approach is extensive testing by doctor that know how to test. Not to diagnose yoursfl based on a book, this no one can do, only testing can say if it is this or that. Symptoms alone are not enough, many many have overlapping symptoms.

Here are good reference works

My favorite: now out of print but still availiable

http://www.amazon.com/Tropical-Medicine-Emerging-Infectious-Diseases/dp/07216...

This is very good, by one of the worlds best diagnostic doctors (mostly on how doctors need to do to diagnose)

http://www.amazon.com/Tropical-Medicine-Clinical-International-Humanitarian/d...


Also very good

http://www.amazon.com/Tropical-Infectious-Diseases-Principles-Pathogens/dp/07...


Most tropical disease experts read this (the book is good, but the two above better, but they all have pluses and minuses, best is to read all of them over and over and over again)

http://www.amazon.com/Mansons-Tropical-Diseases-Expert-Consult/dp/1416044701/...


and this is very good reference work to have

http://www.amazon.com/Bennetts-Principles-Practice-Infectious-Diseases/dp/044...




Again do not use this books to diagnose yourself...Use them to get converstaion with top doctors to find out what has actually been ruled out what is not ruled out...If book says test is false negative in 50% of cases and doctor used such test and said u not can have it based on test then show him book or go to other doctor....

If you carefully read the books and you understand what they say you will also undertand you need someone with right testing methods and right lab facility to diagnose, in other words it is not just to match symptoms, even if mathcin symptoms can help you exclude some parasites etc if you truly know the books inside out...further there is a long series of other books on how exactly the parasites looks like, but here even better is of course training with doctor that know the stuff....so in end you are dependent on doctors, but the books if you truly read them can clearly help you find out what doctors are good and who just talk nonsense....some general doctors claim they bascically can rule out infections on general infection status blood work, after reading any of these books you will know such claims are nonsense...So yes good to have in your tool box....all these books have pluses and minus, combined they have highest value....but yes it will take years of study to really get the info sink...but yes I would not live without them.....but again I will let them collect dust, hopefully for the rest of my life....but I never know if I will need them again
