Reports of marine parasites and diseases are increasing worldwide; however, they are woefully understudied compared to their terrestrial counterparts. Part of the disparity stems from the logistical difficulties of working and sampling in the ocean, as well as the open nature of many marine populations, which decreases the visibility and tractability of marine parasites. As we work to build the knowledge base of marine parasites and diseases, we must recognize that such a process is more than just cataloguing species. Rather, we need appropriate frameworks for understanding which parasites and diseases are impactful, how they affect species other than their hosts, how they are exacerbated by environmental factors, and how they may adapt to conditions of global change. The Ecology and Evolution of Marine Parasites and Disease explores how parasites and diseases affect marine life, ecosystems, and global change. As reports of marine disease rise, this timely volume offers a rare and accessible look at how scientists detect, study, and understand these often-overlooked threats. Written by leading experts, the book brings together real-world case studies, large-scale research, and cutting-edge evolutionary insights. It provides readers with a vital framework for understanding how marine disease spreads, evolves, and impacts life beyond just the host. This is an essential resource for marine science, conservation, and environmental change.

Biological invasions - the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive alien species - 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. Co-introduced parasites can affect the success of the invasive organism but can also go on to infect hosts in the new range, resulting in novel ecological interactions and complex impacts. These 'Invasive Parasites' can have profound impacts on the success of a biological invasion, and can pose a significant risk to wildlife, in addition to organisms cultured for agriculture and aquaculture. 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. Authored by leading researchers in the discipline, this new book is a useful tool for helping invasion researchers incorporate disease data into their invasion models, as well a vital resource for researchers, policy makers, and environmental managers that are more generally interested in the myriad consequences of species invasions
