 Annotation to working group:

 Participants in the Fourth and Fifth International Cestode Workshops expressed interest in developing a book on the laboratory techniques for cestode study. The book would be generated from individual contributions from cestode experts on a variety of laboratory techniques useful in the study of cestodes. The goal behind this is to assemble into one source the variety of methods and techniques that are utilized by researchers in the cestode community.

 At Cestode Workshop VI, the participants in this working group will have the opportunity to review the various submissions that will have been made by cestode experts by the time of the meeting.

 This working group will meet for 2 sessions.  In the first session, we will review each of the submissions. In the second session we will discuss the assembly of these submissions into a book. Participants in these sessions will have input on the final format of the book.

 The key to this session is to have a large number of contributions from individual cestode experts in hand BEFORE Workshop VI takes place. Each participant in the workshop will receive a letter requesting their contributions in January, 2008.
