Паразиты. Тайный мир

The book reveals so many astonishing facts about parasites that I wonder what sparked Carl Zimmer's curiosity to explore this niche of nature.

The way parasites influence their hosts' behavior is wild, but also a bit disturbing. How did readers feel about these creepy interactions?

Given the vast diversity of parasites, I'm curious about the process behind selecting the most compelling or relevant ones for this book.
