Ecology and Evolution of Parasitism - Hosts to Ecosystems

Informationen zum Autor Frédéric Thomas! Jean-François Guégan and François Renaud are all Senior Research Fellows in two French research institutions (CNRS and IRD)! and they are interested by the ecology and the evolution of host-parasite interactions. Their areas of research are various! involving population genetics! population dynamics! behavioural ecology! modelling and ecology of health. They regularly published in international journals (Nature! CurrentBiology! Evolution! Journal of Evolutionary Biology! PLoS! Proceedings B! Trends in Parasitology). Klappentext Biologists are increasingly aware of the universal significance of parasites to the study of ecology and evolution where they have become a powerful model system. This book provides a summary of the issues involved as well as an overview of the possibilities offered by this research topic including the practical applications in disease prevention.
