Reminds me of a book:

Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures

from Publisher's Weekly:

"Not only are parasites not all bad, Zimmer concludes in this exemplary work of popular science, but we may be parasites, too and we have a lot to learn from them about how to manage earth, the host we share."

Fascinating book.
