Summary
Ecoimmunology is a newly emergent, interdisciplinary research field that examines interactions among host physiology and disease ecology in a wide range of environmentally relevant contexts. Edited by Gregory Demas and Bandy Nelson, Ecoimmunology is the first book to critically review recent advances in this rapidly expanding discipline.
Since the start of the twenty-first century, the role of parasites and pathogens in the evolution of life history traits has become of increasing interest to both ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Furthermore, immunology, which was once studied almost exclusively by immunologists, has become an important area of proximate investigation to animal physiologists as a means for understanding changes in disease susceptibility and the neural and neuroendocrine mechanisms that mediate these changes. The coalescence of these different perspectives has given rise to the field of ecoimmunology, an interdisciplinary research field that examines interactions among host physiology and disease ecology in a wide range of environmentally relevant contexts.
