Plagues and Peoples was written by William H. McNeill. The basis of this book all falls on epidemiology‚ also known as the study of patterns‚ causes‚ and effects that disease and health conditions have on certain populations. McNeill’s writing shows how the relationship that mankind‚ referred to a macroparasites‚ and parasites‚ referred to as microparasites‚ have made an impact on the world through history. The relationship at first during existence was said to be “balanced”‚ but when mankind in

It is a relation between two individual called host. Parasite is mainly a food coaction‚ but the parasite derives shelter and protection from the host. Parasites are intelligent
