Advances in Parasitology, Volume 118, the latest release in this ongoing series, includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, along with reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy and life history. New chapters in this release cover topics such as Parasitic and infectious diseases of African wildlife: The Big Five and Improving Translational Power for Antischistosomal Drug Discovery.
