nematoda
cestoda
trematoda

elephantiasis
vectors
vaccine* (searches for both vaccine and vaccines)
trypanosoma spp
(search for a specific species e.g. trypanosoma cruzi)
plasmodium spp

If you search a phrase or concept (with two words or more), enclose them in quotations. For example:
"parasitic diseases"
"parasitic diseases - diagnosis"
"host-parasite relationships"
"host parasitic interactions"
"parasites - pathogenicity"
"parasites - classification"
"parasites - physiology"
"parasites - genetics"

"parasites -- isolation & purification"
"fishes - parasites"

"malaria - parasitology"
"malaria, falciparum - epidemiology"
"malaria, falciparum - parasitology"
"chagas' disease"

parasit* "infectious diseases" (searches for parasite or parasites or parsitology AND "infectious diseases"
parasit* immunology
parasite* identification
parasit* epidemiology
