Competent Non‐Native Alternative Host Reduces Infection Success in a Generalist Parasite [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSuccessful parasite proliferation depends on eco‐evolutionarily stable host–parasite relationships, which may be disrupted by the introduction of non‐native alternative hosts, particularly in the case of the generalist parasites adapted to multiple host ...
