Evolutionary Parasitology

The Integrated Study of Infections, Immunology, Ecology, and Genetics

Beschreibung

Concepts from evolution, ecology, parasitology, and immunology have informed a new synthesis of host-parasite interactions. The book builds on these established approaches whilst including some of the most successful interdisciplinary areas of modern biology - evolutionary epidemiology and ecological immunology.
