Abstract
This chapter will summarize many of the recent advances in experimental techniques that have greatly increased our ability to address fundamental questions of parasite biology. Many of these advances are improvements on basic transfection techniques through new generation vectors and regulatable expression systems; however, advances in the analysis of gene expression, microscopy and the analysis of field samples have also proven very fruitful read more ...
