Biology of Schistosomes: From Genes to Latrines

Due to their devastating impact on both human and animal health in numerous tropical countries of the world, schistosomes have become one of the most widely studied of parasitic organisms. The tremendous ongoing research and control effort, primarily directed at ridding man of the disease schistosomiasis, involves people from many different disciplines and backgrounds. The intention of this book is to draw together the many interesting advances in knowledge in diverse areas of study which relate to the biology of schistosomes, and to provide a standard and comprehensible text which will be of immediate benefit to advanced students, research workers, clinicians and field workers.Rollinson, David is the author of 'Biology of Schistosomes: From Genes to Latrines' with ISBN 9780125936927 and ISBN 0125936923.
