摘要
Twenty years ago, an article by Carter and Colley was published in an early issue of this journal. The report outlined pioneering studies by several laboratories into schistosome molecular biology and molecular genetics. To commemorate that prescient report and, in like fashion, to provide a brief (and non-comprehensive) synopsis of progress in this field up to the present time, I will outline some key aspects of the molecular biology of schistosomes that have been reported in the intervening years.
