  • Skin and Arthropod Vectors

    Edited by Nathalie Boulanger ...
    Recent research on skin immunity and the skin microbiome reveals the complexity of the skin and its importance in the development of immunity against arthropod-borne diseases. In diseases such as malaria, borreliosis, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, etc., the skin interface has been shown as an essential site for pathogens to hide from the immune system, and as a potential site of persistence. ...

  • Myxozoan Evolution, Ecology and Development

    Edited by Beth Okamura, Alexander Gruhl, Jerri L. Bartholomew ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides an up-to-date review of the biology of myxozoans, which represent a divergent clade of endoparasitic cnidarians. Myxozoans are of fundamental interest in understanding how early diverging metazoans have adopted parasitic lifestyles, and are also of considerable economic and ecological concern as endoparasites of fish. Synthesizing recent research, the chapters explore issues ... Read more

  • Biodiversity and Evolution of Parasitic Life in the Southern Ocean

    Edited by Sven Klimpel, Thomas Kuhn, Heinz Mehlhorn ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The Southern Oceans including Antarctic regions are peculiar and very sensitive water biotopes, where animal life and species interrelations are only poorly investigated.
