  Definitions of the parastatistics algebras and known results on their Lie
(super)algebraic structure are reviewed. The notion of super-Hopf algebra is
discussed. The bosonisation technique for switching a Hopf algebra in a braided
category ${}_{H}\mathcal{M}$ ($H$: a quasitriangular Hopf algebra) into an
ordinary Hopf algebra is presented and it is applied in the case of the
parabosonic algebra. A bosonisation-like construction is also introduced for
the same algebra and the differences are discussed.
