Fleas are one of the most interesting and fascinating taxa of
ectoparasites. All species in this relatively small order are
obligatory haematophagous (blood-feeding) parasites of higher
vertebrates. This book examines how functional, ecological and
evolutionary patterns and processes of host-parasite relationships
are realized in this particular system. As such it provides an
in-depth case study of a host-parasite system, demonstrating how
fleas can be used as a model taxon for testing ecological and
evolutionary hypotheses. The book moves from basic descriptive
aspects, to functional issues and finally to evolutionary
explanations. It extracts several general principles that apply
equally well to other host-parasite systems, so it appeals not only
to flea biologists but also to 'mainstream' parasitologists and
ecologists.
