Evolutionary History of Terrestrial Pathogens and Endoparasites as Revealed in Fossils and Subfossils

Advances in Biology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The present work uses fossils and subfossils to decipher the origin and evolution of terrestrial pathogens and endoparasites. Fossils, as interpreted by morphology or specific features of their hosts, furnish minimum dates for the origin of infectious agents, coevolution with hosts, and geographical locations.
