520 3 # |a This book contains 22 chapters which are distributed into three sections: phylogeny, genetics and transcriptomes; immunobiology, host-parasite interaction and control; and protein function, metabolism and physiology. It aims to review recent advances in the understanding of these and related topics in flatworm molecular biology and biochemistry. Where appropriate, comparisons are made between different parasitic flatworms and free-living species. This book will be of significant interest to those researching parasitology, immunology and infectious diseases.
