Summary Small mammals are among the most ubiquitous and important components of terrestrial ecosystems. This book provides a survey of the diversity and biology of metazoan parasites affecting small mammals, of their impact on host individuals and populations, and the management implications of these parasites for conservation biology and human welfare
