Biological invasions are complex global phenomena that can cause significant environmental, ecological, and economic harm. Along with the direct effects of an invasive host organism, there is the additional threat of co-introduced pathogenic and parasitic species. Compiling information on parasite invasions for the first time, this unique book: provides an in-depth resource on parasite invasions, revealing the subtleties underlying biological invasions and co-introduced disease; examines the phenomenon and consequences of parasite release in invaded host communities; explores parasite invasion impacts, interactions and diagnostic techniques; includes case studies across a broad range of hosts (plants, vertebrates and invertebrates) and parasites (viruses to large Metazoa), from a plethora of aquatic and terrestrial environments.
