....Taken together, the chapters of this volume were written in a way that will initiate and amplify progressive research on parasitic helminths, propelling the discipline forward. This book is an excellent tool for students with an interest in parasitology, medical and veterinary professionals, public health officials, and others who have general interest in global health and the human-animal interface, and makes a strong argument for amplifying the parasitic helminth workforce due to the translational and scalable findings that could be applied globally. --The Quarterly Review of Biology
