Vertebrate Bowels of the Earth.” This comprehensive work, which Caira edited with University of Kansas scientist Kristen Jensen, is the result of an eight-year effort to survey the intestinal parasites of animals from around the world. The book inventories 4,810 species collected from all oceans and every continent except Antarctica." It also introduces 211 species that were heretofore unknown. “They sequenced genomes, restructured evolutionary trees and sought out previously unknown connections between parasites and their hosts".
