Descripción

Advances in Parasitology, Volume 98, first published in 1963, contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology. The latest release in this series contains chapters on The battle against flystrike – past research and new prospects through genomics, Life history, systematics and evolution of the Diplostomoidea Poirier, 1886: progress, promises and challenges emerging from molecular studies, Hook, line and infection: a guide to culturing parasites, establishing infections and assessing immune responses in the three-spined stickleback, and Trypanosoma congolense: a molecular toolkit and resources for studying a major livestock pathogen and model trypanosome.

The series includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes. The series also contains reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which help to shape current thinking and applications.

David Rollinson

Professor David Rollinson is a Merit Research Scientist at the Natural History Museum in London, where he leads a research team in the Wolfson Wellcome Biomedical Laboratories and directs the WHO Collaborating Centre for schistosomiasis. He has had a long fascination with parasites and the diseases that they cause, this has involved him in many overseas projects especially in Africa. He is on the WHO Expert Advisory Panel of parasitic diseases, the editor of Advances in Parasitology and a former President of the World Federation of Parasitologists. His research group uses a multidisciplinary approach, which combines detailed molecular studies in the laboratory with ongoing collaborative studies in endemic areas of disease, to explore the intriguing world of parasites in order to help control and eliminate parasitic diseases.
