Leishmania: After The GenomeEdited by: Peter J. Myler and Nicolas Fasel
Published: 2008   ISBN: 978-1-904455-28-8
Price: GB £150 or US $300
In this book, internationally recognised Leishmania experts critically review the most important aspects of current Leishmania research, providing the first coherent picture of the organism's molecular and cellular biology since the publication of the genome sequence. Chapters are written from a molecular and genomic perspective and discuss in depth Leishmania-specific aspects of trypanosomatid biology and pathology. Topics include: diagnosis and epidemiology, genome structure and content, regulation of gene expression, the Leishmania proteome, the Leishmania metabolome, Leishmania differentiation, interaction with the sand fly vector, drug discovery, drug resistance, and much more. Essential reading for all researchers working with Leishmania, trypanosomes and protozoa. A recommended book for all biology and medical libraries. read more ...
