W.C. Marquardt, R.S. Demaree, R.B. Grieve: Parasitology and Vector Biology.

The role of molecular biology in veterinary parasitology.

The tools of molecular biology are increasingly relevant to veterinary parasitology. The sequencing of the complete genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans and other helminths and protozoa is allowing great advances in studying the biology, and improving diagnosis and control of parasites. Unique DNA sequences provide very high levels of specificity for the diagnosis and identification of parasite sp...

Experimental Parasitology

Buckling, A., Crooks, L., and Read A. 1999. Plasmodium chabaudi: Effect of antimalarial drugs on gametocytogenesis. Experimental Parasitology 93, 45–54. The proportion of asexual blood-stage malaria parasites that develop into transmission stages (gametocytes) can increase in response to stress. We investigated whether stress imposed by a variety of antimalarial drugs administered before or dur...

A regulated expression vector would provide a strong tool for the dissection of gene function in Trypanosoma cruzi. Herein, we establish a system in which genes in T. cruzi expression vectors can be exogenously ...
