Apart from malaria, schistosomiasis is the most prevalent parasitic infection in the world. It affects more than 200 million people in 76 tropical and subtropical countries, causing great suffering and resulting in thousands of deaths. Written by world authorities, this book examines many aspects of the biology, pathology, and control of the schistosoma parasite. Ranging in topic from infection in Pharaonic Egypt, through DNA relationships and biological systems, to advances in development of vaccines against the parasite, this book is a comprehensive text written for researchers and medical professionals alike.

In 1990, he was awarded the Clarke Medal for Research in Natural Sciences, early recipients of which were Thomas Henry Huxley, Baron von Mueller, and Richard Owen. His chief field of research is the ultrastructure of spermatozoa and its relevance to phylogeny, but he is also an authority on taxonomy of earthworms and has published on bioluminescence, trematode taxonomy and life cycles, and DNA based phylogenetics. He names 170 new species, has published more than 200 scientific papers, and is the author, co-author, or editor of 21 books.
