Multidisciplinary studies, systems approaches and parasite eco-epidemiology: something old, something new

open access: yesParasite, 2008
Parasite requires an understanding of complex transmission systems where individual, population and environmental factors and their interactions can hardly been considered separately.

Ecology directs host-parasite coevolutionary trajectories across Daphnia-microparasite populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Host-parasite interactions often fuel coevolutionary change. However, parasitism is one of a myriad of possible ecological interactions in nature. Biotic (e.g., predation) and abiotic (e.g., temperature) variation can amplify or dilute parasitism as a ...

Pathological and ecological host consequences of infection by an introduced fish parasite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The infection consequences of the introduced cestode fish parasite Bothriocephalus acheilognathi were studied in a cohort of wild, young-of-the-year common carp Cyprinus carpio that lacked co-evolution with the parasite.

Diet quality determines interspecific parasite interactions in host populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The widespread occurrence of multiple infections and the often vast range of nutritional resources for their hosts allow that interspecific parasite interactions in natural host populations might be determined by host diet quality. Nevertheless, the role

Modeling the geographical distributions of Chordodes formosanus and its mantis hosts in Taiwan, with considerations for their niche overlaps

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Species distribution models (SDMs) have conventionally been used for evaluating the distribution of individual species, but they can also be used, through comparing different SDMs, to evaluate the geographic similarity between taxa.

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...

Endoparasitic fauna of Serrasalmus spp. (Characidae: Serrasalminae) in a neotropical floodplain

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2016
Floodplains systems present complex biodiversity and upper Paraná river floodplain retains a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic species. Serrasalmus marginatus (nonindigenous species) and Serrasalmus maculatus (native species) are part of this ...

Epidemiological survey of human echinococcosis in east Gansu, China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Echinococcosis is endemic in pastoral regions of south, west and mid-Gansu province, China. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of echinococcosis in east Gansu, and analyze its associated risk factors.

Ecology: Plant Parasites Victimized by a Parasitic Plant [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2018
A recent study reveals a novel type of trophic interaction: galls induced on a native Florida oak by cynipid wasps are attacked by love vine, a subtropical parasitic plant. Attack is fatal to the wasp, and thus there is the opportunity for the vine to exert selection on the wasp to alter gall structure.
