A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book deals with aspects of the ecology and evolution of hosts and their pathogens with emphasis on the coevolution that has occurred between them; understanding why this is essential, both for gaining insights into why infectious diseases affect us in the ways that they do, and for informing our efforts to control infections in the future. Topics include: pathogens that humans share with other species, the evolution of virulence, the evolution of resistant strains of parasites and vectors, emerging infectious diseases, and the possible impacts of future environmental changes on the occurrence of infectious diseases.
