Applies concepts and scientific advances from both molecular biology and biochemistry to the study of parasitic organisms. This book places parasites in their biological contexts and emphasizes the specifics that differentiate these organisms. It is intended for researchers and faculty in parasitology.

A valuable, new source, Molecular Medical Parasitology is the only text of its kind -- one that applies broad concepts and current scientific advances from both molecular biology and biochemistry to the study of parasitic organisms. An internationally renowned team of scientists and physicians places parasites in their broad biological contexts while still emphasizing the specifics that differentiate these organisms. Not only will researchers and faculty in parasitology find this an indispensable guide, physicians will benefit from the thorough coverage molecular biology and biochemistry's current influences on treatment and management of parasitic diseases.
