The ways in which bacteria can manipulate reproduction of their invertebrate hosts for their own benefit is increasingly attracting attention among scientists. Written by leading experts, this is the first book to assemble background information on the topic in a comprehensive way, as well as presenting the most recent and exciting advances in the field.
It is a truly excellent book, effortlessly providing both a clear introduction to the subject and an authoritative overview of current research priorities...The 11 contributors and editors are to be congratulated for producing a book that reads like the work of a single author with a remarkably broad grasp of the subject. * Angela Douglas *
