Information on parasite genomes will be fundamental to the future directions of parasitology research. Complete parasite gene sequence data, currently available for some pathogenic bacteria, will provide essential biological information and clues to novel drug and vaccine targets. The papers in this volume summarize the current state of various parasite genome projects and the bioinformatics of parasite genome analysis. This book covers such topics as pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, trypanosomes and apicomplexan parasites, schistosomes, and nematode pathogens of both humans and plants. The genera

This is an exciting time to produce an overview of the systematics and evolution of the fungi. Molecular and subcellular characters have given us our first view of the true phylogeny of the fungi. The systematic chapters present detailed illustrated treatments of specific fungal groups with the authors’ interpretation of the systematics of that group as well as a survey of specific economic, ecological, morphological, ultrastructural, molecular and cultural data. Other chapters, in addition to treating techniques useful in modern mycology, provide the reader with views of the place of th
