Unveiling the Proteolytic Networks of Parasites, Volume 128 presents a cutting-edge exploration of specific proteases across a spectrum of parasitic organisms. Top researchers in the field conduct multifaceted examinations, shedding light on the distinct roles of these proteases within significant parasite groups, including malaria, trematodes, nematodes, and blood-feeding arthropods. Chapters in this new release An Overview of Fasciola hepatica Protein Glycosylation: Complexity, Mechanisms, Biological Importance, and Future Insights, Angiostrongylus infections in carnivores – biology, epidemiology, clinicopathological aspects, diagnostics and prevention, Changing distribution, diversity and health impact of Echinococcus multilocularis in North America and Europe, and much more.
Other chapters cover Gastrointestinal parasitic Protozoa infection of mother and child, and their influence on low birth weight and stunting: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis, Hard to make and hard to take: exploring the current and future barriers to the development and implementation of antipoverty vaccines in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Advances, Challenges, and Applications of Laboratory Culture of Digenean Trematode Parasites.
