There are essentially two lines of attack that such a program may take. First, a knowledge of the basic constituents of the parasite is necessary in order to know the type of material with which one is dealing. An essential adjunct to this knowledge is an understanding of the factors, within and without the organism, that control the quantitative levels of these various constituents. A second way by which it is possible to obtain information on the physiological and chemical activities of the parasite is through experiments designed to test or assay the metabolic capabilities of the organism in terms of a particular enzyme system or a sequence of enzyme systems. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
