Summary:
"Malaria affects hundreds of millions of people every year, killing several hundred thousand. This book examines the biology of the Plasmodium parasites responsible, the way the disease is transmitted via mosquitos, and current approaches to vaccination and treatment. Highlights include: - Malaria Epigenetics - Biology of Malaria Transmission - New approaches to vaccine discovery - Current and Future Prospects for Preventing Malaria Transmission Via the Use of Insecticides"-- Provided by publisher.
