摘要
The past year has brought great progress in the genome-sequencing efforts on a large number of protozoan and metazoan parasites. Whereas many of these projects are in their initial stages, at least one (for Plasmodium falciparum) is nearing completion. The information released to date has been most revealing with respect to immune evasion mechanisms.
