Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Advances in parasitology (volume 48) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Baker, J. R., Auteur Editeur : Academic press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 397 p. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 9780120317 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 616 Maladies Résumé : The volume starts with a review of the evolutionary history of the trypanosomatidae as revealed by current molecular studies, including DAN sequencing. The authors bring together observations and stimulating ideas concerning the evolution of virulence under transovarial transmission and discuss the wider impact of this transmission strategy on host ecology and host/parasite evolution. Some contributors bring a vast body of information concerning biodhesives secreted by platyhelminthes. They draw our attention to many fascinating questions concerned with a parasite's ability to adhere to epithelial surfaces. It has been dealt with the use of ultrasonography in the study of the pathology of schistosomal infections by two other contributors. The author stresses particularly the recent findings showing that the most important effects are on children, whose weight, height and probably cognition in many countries are clearly deleteriously affected by the presence of infection. The author has been closely involved in the formulation of control strategies and he authoritatively reviews measures which are proving, or could prove, effective, including their economic implications. He also deals with many fascinating aspects of the biology of ascaris such as the relationship between the human body and recent work on the immunology of infection, including allergic responses of the host. This 48th volume includes 5 main parts; each part is written by different authors and includes an abstract, an introduction and a conclusion. These parts are: 1- the molecular evolution of trypanosomatidae 2- transovarial transmission in the microsporidia. 3- adhesive secretions in the platyhelminthes. 4- the use of ultrasound in schistosomiasis. 5- ascaris and ascariasis.
