| Abstract: | Future developments in science cannot be foreseen with any accuracy as they depend on ideas which cannot be predicted. The immediate future, like the recent past, will be very much dictated by technological developments but exploitation of these developments may be limited to a select few. Parasitologists must advertise discoveries of potential fundamental biological significance in order to attract new recruits to the discipline and maintain its scientific vigour. Our understanding of the nature of parasitism will ultimately depend upon the characterization of the genetic dependence of parasites on their hosts. |
