Overview

This laboratory manual, with detailed background information and practical protocols, should be a useful guide for researchers engaged in all areas of parasitology. Most techniques described here are suitable for helminths as well as protozoa, but protocols for particular parasite species are also included. Parasite infections are widespread. However, effective therapeuticals are not yet available. The analysis of the life cycle and parasite host interactions at the molecular level may help in the search for the ""Achilles Heel"" of a parasite and thus promote the development of new therapeutic approaches. Parasitic molecules such as surface antigens, excretory proteins or metabolic enzymes may serve as targets for diagnostic tests, chemo- or immunotherapeutics, or even vaccination.

All the chapters are well written and provide volumes of information on practical procedures in experimental parasitology. In conclusion, this is an excellent laboratory manual. FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology Described as a laboratory manual, this book is much more than a collection of protocols. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
