Paperback. This volume analyzes how parasites shape the biology of social insects: the ants, wasps, bees and termites. Paul Schmid-Hempel provides an overview of existing knowledge of parasites in social insects.

In addition the author develops insights, especially in his examination of the intricate relationships between parasites and their social hosts by a rigorous use of evolutionary and ecological concepts. Schmid-Hempel identifies gaps in our knowledge about parasites in social insects and uses models to develop new questions for future research.
