Genomes of parasites that infect humans are beingsequenced at a growing pace. Thanks to collaborative effortsand strong funding, the whole genomes of several proto-zoans have been sequenced, with Plasrrwdium spp., trypa-nosomes and Leishmania major leading the field [Box l(i)].ln fact, the genome sequences of all protozoan parasites thatcause the most serious infections in humans will becompleted soon. It is hoped that these sequences, combinedwith functional genomics, will reveal novel drugtargets, andopen new and exciting lines ofbasic and applied research.
