About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This is an updated review of the current understanding of the molecular, cellular biology, and biochemistry aspects, including protein expression and functions of the two protozoan parasitic genera, Leishmania and Trypanosoma. … this is a good book for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers in the field. … This is a well-organized book outlining the current understanding of the biology and biochemistry of two important parasitic agents.” (Vaibhav Tiwari, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2015)Editors and Affiliations
