International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015 The present review summarized the factors or determinants that may explain parasite diversity among host species and the consequences of this parasite diversity on the evolution of host-life history traits.

Parasite diversity and ecology in a model species, the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) in Trinidad [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a model species in ecology and evolution. Many studies have examined effects of predators on guppy behaviour, reproduction, survival strategies, feeding and other life-history traits, but few have studied variation in ...

Plasticity in transmission strategies of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi: environmental and genetic effects [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2013 Parasites may alter their behaviour to cope with changes in the within‐host environment. In particular, investment in transmission may alter in response to the availability of parasite resources or host immune responses.

Modeling the ecology of parasitic plasmids [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2021 Abstract Plasmids are autonomous genetic elements that can be exchanged between microorganisms via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Despite the central role they play in antibiotic resistance and modern biotechnology, our understanding of plasmids’ natural ecology is limited.

The ecology of zoonotic parasites in the Carnivora [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2021 The order Carnivora includes over 300 species that vary many orders of magnitude in size and inhabit all major biomes, from tropical rainforests to polar seas. The high diversity of carnivore parasites represents a source of potential emerging diseases of humans.
