Parasitic infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and
mortality in the world today. Often endemic in developing countries
many parasitic diseases are neglected in terms of research funding
and much remains to be understood about parasites and the
interactions they have with the immune system. This book examines
current knowledge about immune responses to parasitic infections
affecting humans, including interactions that occur during
co-infections, and how immune responses may be manipulated to
develop therapeutic interventions against parasitic infection.
For easy reference, the most commonly studied parasites are
examined in individual chapters written by investigators at the
forefront of their field. An overview of the immune system, as well
as introductions to protozoan and helminth parasites, is included
to guide background reading. A historical perspective of the field
of immunoparasitology acknowledges the contributions of
investigators who have been instrumental in developing this field
of research.
