内容説明

The ways in which bacteria can manipulate reproduction of their invertebrate hosts for their own benefit is attracting increasing attention among scientists. It has been discovered that certain bacteria can determine the likelihood of their fruit fly hosts finding a partner to mate with, and that bacteria infecting woodlice can even cause changes in woodlice offspring. Written by leading experts, this is an exploration of a new and rapidly expanding area of science.
