摘要

It is apt that in the year that marks the 40th anniversary of the death of J. B. S. Haldane, we should have a book on host-pathogen evolution that so explicitly acknowledges the debt this field owes to him. I refer not just to his ideas regarding the influence of infectious disease on host evolution, but also to his tireless efforts to inject rigour into the language used to describe it. "Words," he said, "are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better." His genius lay not only in defining a set of problems that would keep so many of us gainfully employed, but also in identifying some of the tools with which to try and tackle them.
