Unveiling the Proteolytic Networks of Parasites, Volume 130 in the Advances in Parasitology series, presents a cutting-edge exploration of specific proteases across a spectrum of parasitic organisms. Top researchers in the field conduct multifaceted examinations, shedding light on the distinct roles of these proteases within significant parasite groups, including malaria, trematodes, nematodes, and blood-feeding arthropods. Chapters in this new release include The roundworm Ascaris: recent advances and progress towards elimination, Genetically modified helminths as pharmaceutical bio-factories, Epithelial cytokines in helminth infections, Schistosoma eggs: from conception to eggs-creation, Helminth extracellular vesicles: roles in and beyond parasite-host communication, and more.
