Focusing on the intricate relationships between bacteria and invertebrates, this compendium explores various processes such as pathogenicity, parasitism, and symbiosis across diverse environments. It delves into the evolutionary adaptations of invertebrates and their interactions with bacteria, highlighting significant advances in research. The book organizes its content by functional processes rather than taxonomy, examining molecular mechanisms like horizontal gene transfer and immune responses. Additionally, it addresses the impacts of climate change, biological invasions, and agricultural practices on these dynamics.
