A Model for Studying the Biology of Parasitism Chlamydia psittaci and Mouse Fibroblasts (L Cells)

Biologists in general have been happy to leave the study of parasitism to their colleagues who are interested in the parasites of man and of economically important plants and animals. With such interests, these biologists have rightly considered parasitism from the point of view of the host-how to prevent and cure the pathological manifestations of parasitism. However, an approach to parasitism in which the host and parasite are accorded equal importance is capable of producing results of general biological interest.
