Presents ecological consequences and evolutionary mechanisms that may be associated with behavioural alterations in parasitized hosts. Literature is summarised, showing that reports of alteration may frequently be consistent with more than one evolutionary explanation and that rigorous tests are needed before the phenomenon can be understood and placed in a predictive framework.
' ... a gripping account of the sometimes spectacular behavioural ( and morphological) alterations caused by parasites ... Everyone with a general interest in biology who can still be amazed by the awesome power of natural selection should look at this book.' NATURE
