Description
This volume provides an overview of recent advances in the biochemistry and molecular biology of the most relevant unicellular parasites. The most recent advances in the study of these human parasites (Trypanosoma, Leishmania, Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, Trichomonas, Giardia and Entamoeba) will be discussed after a short introduction about the general progress in the field.
