Description

Molecular Parasitology: Protozoan Parasites and Their Molecules offers a deep and fascinating exploration into the molecular biology and biochemistry of protozoan parasites that cause major human and animal diseases. This authoritative volume bridges classical parasitology with modern molecular science, providing an up-to-date understanding of how these microorganisms survive, adapt, and interact with their hosts.

Edited and written by leading experts in the field, this book covers topics such as gene expression, molecular signaling, antigenic variation, host–parasite interactions, and drug resistance. It also discusses advanced research techniques used to study the genetics and proteomics of protozoa like Plasmodium, Trypanosoma, Leishmania, and Giardia.

Ideal for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in microbiology, parasitology, and infectious disease, this text serves as both a scientific reference and a learning resource. The book emphasizes how molecular discoveries are shaping new strategies for parasite control, vaccine development, and therapeutic innovation.
