Parasitism

Beschreibung

Balancing traditional approaches in parasitology with modern studies in parasite ecology and evolution, this edition presents basic ecological principles as a unifying framework to help students understand parasitism. This unique approach, explained using a minimum of mathematical detail, encourages students to think more generally and conceptually about parasites and parasitism.

Rezensionen

'Combining the classical approach of presenting a summary of the biology of the major groups of parasites, with a broad overview of parasite ecology and evolution, this new edition will be a wonderful resource for teachers of undergraduate parasitology courses. The well-illustrated and easy-to-read text is unrivalled at the moment and will be a great tool to turn on a new generation of young minds to the wonders of parasitic organisms. A true parasitological tour de force!' Robert Poulin, University of Otago
