The most recent review of Marine Parasitology, edited by me, will be published in Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly American Zoologist), and is currently available at

“Integrative and Comparative Biology Advance Access published February 11, 2008″

See an extract of the review below:

This book is the

“first to address so widely the broad field of marine parasitology.”

and it

“is an invaluable resource for teachers, as well as a reference for the professional
scientist, marine parasitologist or not. For example, it is also a great reference for ecologists and aquaculturists. Marine Parasitology was much needed, and perfectly reaches its goal.”

The review is by the French biologist Yves Desdevises, whose main interests are in:
evolution and coevolution in living systems: picoalgae and viruses, fish and parasites; phylogeny; molecular biology; evolutionary ecology and comparative analysis; biostatistics and numerical ecology. Dr. Desdevises works at UPMC Univ Paris 06, CNRS, UMR7628, Modèles en biologie cellulaire et évolutive, Laboratoire Arago, Banyuls-sur-Mer, France.
