Book Description
This book is a guide for planners and programme managers in the health and education sectors who are charged with implementing community-based programmes for control of soil-transmitted helminth and schistosome infections in school-age children.
Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminth cause more than 150 000 deaths each year. In school-age populations in developing countries, intestinal helminth infections rank first among the causes of all communicable and noncommunicable diseases. This book describes an approach to the control of infections that is based on the periodic treatment of school-age children – a particularly high-risk group. Parasitological surveys of school population samples, allied to treatment programmes, can then be used as a basis for selecting an appropriate control strategy for the whole community.

Systems Biological Approaches in Infectious Diseases

Systems Biological Approaches in Infectious Diseases (Progress in Drug Research)

Book Description
Systems biology is an emerging discipline that studies the underlying network structure and the dynamics of metabolism, cells or whole organisms. It aims to investigate all interacting components simultaneously and requires data from high throughput techniques. These data from the ""omic"" sciences are computed and used to build in silico models of biological systems that ultimately will prove to be an invaluable tool in drug development.
This book brings together the various fields of functional genomics and systems biology that provide information on metabolic function with a special emphasis on the identifcation of drug targets. It includes practical examples from the various ""omic"" sciences as well as theoretical examples of how integrated knowledge of these sciences can be applied to drug discovery. It is of interest to researchers in the pharmaceutical drug discovery environment, as well as those in the academic field with an interest in the functional application of the ""omic"" sciences.
