Description
Evolutionary Parasitology, 2nd Edition, is the first book to unify the fields of parasitology and immunology with concepts from ecology and evolutionary biology. It develops a conceptual framework and future research agenda for the resulting interdisciplinary areas of ecological immunology and evolutionary epidemiology. And new to this edition: it is Thoroughly revised to provide a state-of-the-art overview, from the molecular bases to adaptive strategies and their ecological and evolutionary consequences; and Includes new sections on microbiota, evolutionary genomics, evolutionary epidemiology, within-host evolution, parasite ecology, and emergent disease. This resource is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate level students, and interdisciplinary researchers from a variety of fields including immunology, genetics, sexual selection, population ecology, behavioural ecology, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology. Those studying and working in adjacent fields such as conservation biology, virology, medicine, and public health will also find it an invaluable resource for connecting to the bases of their science. 571 p.
