- Summary
- "All of the parasitic organisms highlighted in this book represent medically important human pathogens that contribute significantly to the global burden of disease. As such there is intense interest in understanding the molecular basis of infection by these pathogens - not only with regard to their clinical relevance but also the fascinating biology they reveal."--BOOK JACKET.
