Description

From the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory--an up-to-date survey of molecular and immunological approaches to the study of parasites responsible for human disease. These concise, provocative essays present empirical findings and personal accounts and critically review current models and theories. Chapters are divided into three sections: the biology of parasites and parasitic disease; parasite immunology; and parasite molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. The contributors do not always present the same viewpoint, which makes for lively reading.
