Advances in Parasitology Summary

Advances in Parasitology: Volume 108 by David Rollinson (Merit Research Scientist, The Natural History Museum, London, UK)

The Advances in Parasitology series includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, along with reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy and life history, all topics which help to shape current thinking and applications. This latest release includes chapters on the discovery of selected compounds with anthelmintic activity against the barbers pole worm where to from now?, zoonotic transmission of intestinal parasites: implications for control and elimination, taenia asiatica with a historical overview of taeniasis and cysticercosis, advances on the use of automated image analysis of parasite larval assays, and much more.

Advances in Parasitology Reviews

"....Taken together, the chapters of this volume were written in a way that will initiate and amplify progressive research on parasitic helminths, propelling the discipline forward. This book is an excellent tool for students with an interest in parasitology, medical and veterinary professionals, public health officials, and others who have general interest in global health and the human-animal interface, and makes a strong argument for amplifying the parasitic helminth workforce due to the translational and scalable findings that could be applied globally." --The Quarterly Review of Biology

About David Rollinson (Merit Research Scientist, The Natural History Museum, London, UK)

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. Prof. Russell Stothard is Chair in Medical Parasitology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK
