The second edition of Handbook of Drugs for Tropical Parasitic Infections is a product from the Unit of Tropical Pharmacology at the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Huddinge University Hospital. The unit is a collaborative venture between the Departments of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Pharmacology, and
the Hospital Pharmacy. Our department has been involved for many years in research on drugs used in the treatment of tropical parasitic infections. The emphasis has been to develop and apply new bioanalytical techniques to study the clinical pharmacokinetics and metabolites of old and new drugs. Research fellows from Africa, Asia, and South America have participated in this work giving us important feedback from areas where tropical diseases are endemic. Dr Yakoub Aden Abdi from Somalia is one of these past fellows who has devoted his research on the reevaluation of old antiparasitic drugs. It is an honour that he and his Swedish colleagues asked me to write this Preface.
