title: Imaging trematode and nematode parasites.
abstract: Recent advances in molecular genetics and in imaging mean that it is now increasingly feasible to image biological processes within helminth parasites and to visualize interactions between worms and their hosts. Moreover, other innovative imaging approaches that are not dependent on transgenic parasites have been applied to, and or developed for, the study of helminth parasites and have provided novel and important insights into the biology of these important pathogens.
