Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In the beginning there was fever. There was bloody urine. There were long quivering strings of flesh that spooled out of the skin. There was a sleepy death in the wake of biting flies."

Industry Reviews
"One of this year's most fascinating works of popular science is also its most disgusting."
Iyer

"With [this book], Zimmer proves himself as fine a science essayist as we have....The importance of [his] book lies not only in its accessible presentation of the new science of evolutionary parasitology but in its thoughtful treatment of the global strategies and policies that scientists, health workers and governments will have to consider in order to manage parasites in the future...."
New York Times Book Review - Kevin Padian (10/22/2000)
