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.
人类与软体动物之间存在的密切而复杂的关系，使该群体成为生物技术应用的理想目标。本文讨论并综述了传统和新分子技术在动物寄生虫软体动物宿主研究中的应用。文中指出了过去二十年来由于传统技术方法而在软体动物生物学方面取得的显著进展，并列举了与东南亚问题相关的应用。讨论了新生物技术（包括分子生物学技术）在宿主 - 寄生虫相互作用问题上的应用。还介绍了新生物技术如何解决当前和未来应用软体动物学问题的实例。
