Product Review
"Largely the results of a meeting of 50 scientists in Trento, Italy (the date of the meeting is not specified), this work is meant to move towards an ecological approach to the epidemiology of wild animals. Chapters cover parasite and host population dynamics, parasite community ecology and biodiversity, microparasite transmission and persistence, spatial aspects of disease dynamics, the ecology of tick-borne infections in wildlife preserves, the role of pathogens in biological conservation, and visions for future research."--SciTech Book News
