Diversity–disease relationships in natural microscopic nematode communities [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Host diversity can affect parasite prevalence, a phenomenon widely studied in macroscopic organisms. However, data from microscopic communities are lacking, despite their essential role in ecosystem functioning and the unique experimental opportunities ...

Trematode diversity reflecting the community structure of Danish freshwater systems: molecular clues

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Digenean trematodes are parasitic platyhelminths that use several hosts in their life cycles and are thereby embedded in various ecosystems affected by local environmental conditions.

Environmental temperature affects prevalence of blood parasites of birds on an elevation gradient: implications for disease in a warming climate. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: The rising global temperature is predicted to expand the distribution of vector-borne diseases both in latitude and altitude. Many host communities could be affected by increased prevalence of disease, heightening the risk of extinction for ...
