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.

Paul Schmid-Hempel is Emeritus Professor of Biology at the Institute of Integrative Biology (IBZ) and Genetic Diversity Centre at ETH Zürich University, Switzerland. He has made major contributions to the study of strategies of animal behaviour, ecological immunology, and evolutionary ecology, with a focus on social insects and their parasites. Experimentation, field work, laboratory studies, and genetic tools combined these studies. Paul has published several books, taught evolution and ecology at ETH Zurich, and was involved in the public outreach of science. He has served several learned societies, was Vice-President of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, a Permanent Fellow of the Berlin Institute for Advanced Study (Wissenschaftskolleg) and is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina).
