Description
Nematode parasites cause widespread mortality in both man and domestic animals resulting in both major economic and clinical implications. Modern molecular and biochemical methods are now being employed to study immunological mechanisms and host/parasite membrane relationships that may clarify the route towards developing better pharmacological control. This book reviews current research in these areas.
