Molecular Biology of Parasitic Protozoa

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Parsons / Smith, Deborah Ed. / Smith, Deborah F., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Protozoans are interesting creatures for several reasons, not least of which is ong>theong>ir ability to live inside or among ong>theong> cells of ong>theong>ir host while resisting ong>theong> host's cellular defences. ong>Theong> rigours of ong>theong>ir lifestyle have resulted in ong>theong> evolution of some remarkable adaptation at ong>theong> biochemical level; many parasites have dispensed with entire metabolic pathways, and have evolved complex mechanisms for transmission to new hosts. Parasitic protozoa cause some of ong>theong> major infectious diseases of humans and domestic animals. In recent years, new molecular biological techniques have opened up ong>theong> study of ong>theong> biology of ong>theong>se parasites, and tremendous advances have been made. This book covers this interesting and fast-moving field at an advanced level for which ong>theong>re is no oong>theong>r up-to-date book.
