    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book explores the intersection of molecular biology, genomics, and ecology to redefine our understanding of parasitic organisms and their management. Beginning with the application of -omics research in platyhelminth parasites of fish, demonstrating how genomic and proteomic data are essential for understanding host-parasite dynamics and developing novel vaccines and treatments to support sustainable aquaculture. The focus then shifts to the complex internal ecosystems of parasites, and examining how their associated microbiomes-comprising bacteria, fungi, and viruses-influence parasite fitness, virulence, and host interactions. Finally, the book highlights the genus Entamoeba, delving into how how next-generation and long-read sequencing technologies have revolutionized the identification of cryptic species and improved epidemiological surveillance for pathogens like E. histolytica. Together, these chapters provide a modern framework for parasitology through the lens of advanced genetic tools and ecological integration.
