International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 Concomitant infection with more than one parasite species is the rule in nature. Since co-infecting parasites are exploiting the same host, interspecific interactions at the infracommunity level are likely. The nature of such interactions can be expected

Phenology determines seasonal variation in ectoparasite loads in a natural insect population [PDF]
, 2010 1. The extent to which individuals are parasitised is a function of exposure to parasites and the immune response, which in ectotherms may be associated with temperature. 2.

The spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya [PDF]
, 2013 Background In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments.

Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) [PDF]
Ecol EvolEctoparasite community diversity is similar between two endangered bat species in Atlantic Canada. Ectoparasite burden of the two most common ectoparasites varies between bat species in conjunction with their behavior and roosting differences. ABSTRACT Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity ...
