PARASITISM - IMPORTADO

Parasitism: The Diversity and Ecology of Animal Parasites is the first comprehensive parasitology textbook to explain parasitism from an ecological standpoint. The relationship of the parasite to its environment is stressed. The fact that this environment is often alive makes this viewpoint even more fascinating. All of the major groups of animal parasites are examined, but also their biogeography, communities, evolution, and the way they influence the populations of their hosts.
