A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

This excellent series of essays brings together a vast wealth of scattered data on one of the most intriguing of biological phenomena. Surely every parasitologist within the wide specturm - from clinical to molecular biological - will find much here to interest and fascinate. (Tropical Diseases Bulletin)

The editing is excellent and the publisher has maintained a high standard. (Ethology Ecology & Evolution 4: 1992)

the diverse nature of selected topics means that for particular topics, this is an excellent resource. For behaviourists interested in the burgeoning field of parasites and behaviour, the book is a valuable and much appreciated resource. (Animal Behaviour,45,5)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A key book for understanding the dynamics of parasitic infections from an ecological perspective, this new paperback edition enables postgraduate students to benefit from the vast expert knowledge of the internationally respected authors. The central theme of the book is whether parasites and hosts evolve to coexist peacefully or whether parasites remain harmful to their hosts. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book promotes an interchange of research and expertise between ecologists and evolutionary biologists and between immunologists and physiologists. Of ecological, evolutionary, medical, and economic importance, this book is an extremely valuable tool.
