ABSTRACT
The intimate and complex relationship that exists between man and mollusc makes the group an ideal target for the application of biotechnology. The paper discusses and reviews the application of both the conventional and new molecular techniques to the study of the molluscan hosts of animal parasites. The remarkable advances in molluscan biology which have occurred during the past two decades as a consequence of conventional technological methods are noted and applications pertinent to problems in Southeast Asia are cited. Applications of new biotechniques, including those of molecular biology, to problems of the host-parasite interaction are discussed. Examples of how the new biotechnology may resolve present and future problems in applied malacology are presented.
