The majority of parasites that reside inside and on the body of the host do not cause illness. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to parasitology and immunology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in these fields.
