内容説明
This book brings together recent theoretical and empirical developments in all aspects of the study of host-parasite coevolution, including epidemiology, the evolution of parasite virulence, specificity and life history traits, and the evolution of host defences and life history strategies. The book covers all host and parasite taxa, and also explores some of the practical consequences of host-parasite evolution for veterinary and medical sciences.
