Parasitic diseases still affect millions of people every year,
especially in the tropics, causing considerable morbidity or death.
Such infections within livestock are probably an even bigger
problem, leading to poorer productivity, condemna tion of infected
meat and considerable economic loss. Para sitological research has,
however, helped the situation in some cases and the development of
novel drugs, vaccines and diagnostics has improved our chances of
controlling these diseases. Research into parasitic infections is,
therefore, often goal orientated. However, the study of parasites
and host/parasite relationships still remains one of the most
exciting and in teresting aspects of biology. Scientists, from
undergraduate students to research professors, frequently ponder
over how endoparasitic organisms can survive within the most alien
of environments - inside another organism. The nutritional,
reproductive and survival strategies which have evolved within each
group of parasites have allowed the development of highly specific
host-parasite relationships and allow the successful transmission
of the parasite from one host to an other. A considerable amount of
research is therefore direc ted at improving our understanding of
various aspects of parasite biology."
