Overview

Beginning with the evolution of helminth parasites, this volume charts the scientific development of knowledge on helminthology. Focusing on the genetics of host-parasite interactions, the text discusses various aspects of parasitism, pathology and immunization at the molecular level. Attention is also drawn towards the spectacular host range of an array of helminths and the wide spectra of helminthoses in tropical countries, their geographical distribution, epidemiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis.
