The effect of host social system on parasite population genetic structure: comparative population genetics of two ectoparasitic mites and their bat hosts. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: The population genetic structure of a parasite, and consequently its ability to adapt to a given host, is strongly linked to its own life history as well as the life history of its host.

Testing a New Method for Reducing Ectoparasite Infestation in Nest-Boxes
Ardeola, 2016 [EN] In wild bird populations nestlings are commonly infested by ectoparasites. The effects that ectoparasites exert on host fitness usually become evident after the complete elimination of parasites or a substantial reduction in their abundance. Among the most common elimination methods in ecological studies, the use of chemical insecticides is ...

Mate limitation in sea lice infesting wild salmon hosts : the influence of parasite sex ratio and aggregation [PDF]
, 2017 Mate limitation in dioecious parasite species has the potential to impact parasite population growth. Our focus of interest was the influence of parasite sex distribution among hosts on parasite reproduction and transmission dynamics for populations of ...
