Advances in PARASITOLOGY

This volume opens with a comprehensive review of Cryptosporidiosis in Southeast Asia by Yvonne Lim of the University of Malaya and colleagues. Although well understood in high-income nations, the epidemiology and socioeconomic impact of these enteric diseases in Southeast Asia is not so well appreciated. The authors succeed in highlighting the scale of the problem with a penetrating review of the regional literature, from which they also highlight some of the key operational and research challenges that will need to be overcome to effectively control Cryptosporidiosis in the region.
