Professor Boris Krasnov graduated from Moscow State University in Russia. He is now working at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and studies host-parasite relationships using mammal-ectoparasite associations as model systems.
'The clear structure and exceptionally fine style of writing in this volume should attract a much wider range of readers than might initially be expected from its title. The book is very definitely up to scratch.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society 'Some readers may gain most from the early, descriptive chapters of this Olympian review, on aspects such as the obligate blood feeding on higher vertebrates that defines the flea taxon. Others will find both illumination and stimulation in the later essays on various aspects of fleas' functional and evolutionary ecology. The subtitles of these two sections - 'How do fleas do what they do?' and 'Why do fleas do what they do?' - admirably illustrate the unstuffy clarity of the writing, commending the book to students and advanced researchers alike.' Biologist '... provides an in-depth case study of a host-parasite system, demonstrating how fleas can be used as a model taxon for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. ... It extracts several general principals that apply equally well to other host-parasite systems, so will appeal not only to flea biologists but also to mainstream parasitologists and ecologists.' www.cabi.org
