Interactions between competitors, predators and their prey have
traditionally been seen as the foundation of community structure.
Parasites - long ignored in community ecology and the care
necessary bio-security are now recognised to play an important role
in influencing species interactions and, consequently affecting the
functioning of the ecosystem. Parasitism can interact with other
ecological drivers, resulting in both adverse and beneficial
effects on biodiversity and ecosystem health. Species interactions
involving parasites are also keys to understanding many biological
invasions and emerging infectious diseases. This book bridges the
gap between ecology and epidemiology community to create a
comprehensive examination of how parasites and pathogens affect all
aspects of ecological communities, enabling a new generation of
environmentalists to include parasites as a key element in their
studies may be parasites human or animal, terrestrial or aquatic
environments.
