Wiegertjes (cell biology and immunology, Wageningen University, The Netherlands) and Flik (animal physiology, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands) present an overview of host-parasite interactions, using a comparative approach and covering vertebrates from fish to mammals. The animal models described represent natural infections ranging from uni- to multicellular and from endo- to ectoparasites in fish, chicken, and mammals. Some topics are structural and physiological aspects of cell death, and interactions between sea lice and their hosts. Some of the material here was originally presented at an August 2002 meeting of the American Physiological Society. BIOS Scientific Publishers is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group.
