Parasites!

from Zoo Logic · host Dr. Grey Stafford

Dr. Dino Martins is an entomologist and evolutionary biologist with a new book entitled Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites (Knopf). Growing up around animals in Kenya, Dr Martins travels the world investigating parasites and their hosts. With parasites making up about half of all biological species, he argues we need better and more research and a new generation of young scientists to understand these creatures and their impacts on human health, society and economies throughout history.
