Parasitology, Volume 135 Issue 11

Parasitology is an important specialist journal covering the latest advances in the subject. It publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, ranging from the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology to ecology and epidemiology in the context of the medical, veterinary and biological sciences. Two specially commissioned issues with important topics in parasitology, including the proceedings of the symposia of the British Society for Parasitology, are included in the subscription price.
