Birds are hosts to any parasites, internal and external. The parasites inevitably form a burden to the host bird and therefore may affect its ability to grow, survive and reproduce, its behaviour, and the abundance and distribution of the whole species. In consequence, bird-parasite systems have attracted attention from SEVERAL BIRDS OF ONE OR MORE FEATHERS Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and other animals in fundamental ways, but in recent years they have become a powerful model system for the study of ecology and evolution, with practical applications in disease prevention. Here, in a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his influential earlier work, Robert Poulin provides an evolutionary ecologist's view of the biology of parasites. He sets forth a comprehensive synthesis of parasite evolutionary ecology, integrating information across scales from the features of individual parasites to the dynamics of parasite populations and the structuring of parasite communities. "Evolutionary Ecology of Parasites" presents an evolutionary framework for the study of parasite biology, combining theory with empirical examples for a broader understanding of why parasites are as they are and do what they do IN POLITICAL ECOSYSTEMS This collection of articles includes: genetic variability in parasites and host-parasite interactions; host genetics and infectious disease; T cell and cytokine basis of host variability in response to intestinal nematode infections; the role of MHC- and non-MHC-associated genes in determining the human immune response to malaria antigens; influence of host and parasite genotypes on immunological control of Theileria parasites; genetic susceptibility to leishmanial infections: studies in mice and man; genetic susceptibility to malaria and other infectious diseases: from MHC to the whole genome. Genetics of Host and Parasite: Implications for Immunity, Epidemiology and Evolution Two main types of hosts specificity were defined: ancient or phylogenic specificity – very narrow, „connected with the systematic position of the hosts”, and three categories of recent specificity (independent of host systematic): ecological – very large, related to alimentary regime of hosts; physiological – large, connected with metabolic activity of hosts, and neogenic – narrow, arising from ecological or physiological factors, when the plasticity of parasite has been lost. It is worth to notice a weak precision of defining the range of specificity: narrow, large, very large, as well as multitude of other designations describing this range.
