Some Reflections on the Ecology of Parasitism

The Journal of Parasitology, 1958
Ecology may be conveniently defined as the science which deals with the relationship of an organism to and with its environment. My visualization of this concept is one of a dynamic inter-relation. Perhaps we could borrow a phrase from the physical chemist and refer to this as a dynamic fluctuating equilibrium.

Ecology and biogeography of marine parasites

2002
A review is given of (mainly recent) work on the biodiversity, ecology, biogeography and practical importance of marine parasites. Problems in estimating species numbers have been thoroughly discussed for free-living species, and the main points of these discussions are reviewed here.

Parasites in Ecological Communities

2011
Interactions between competitors, predators and their prey have traditionally been viewed as the foundation of community structure. Parasites – long ignored in community ecology – are now recognized as playing an important part in influencing species interactions and consequently affecting ecosystem function.

Parasitism and ecological parasitology

Entomological Review, 2011
Parasitism as one of the life modes is a general biological phenomenon and is a characteristic of all viruses, many taxa of bacteria, fungi, protists, metaphytes, and metazoans. Zooparasitology is focused on studies of parasitic animals, particularly, on their taxonomy, anatomy, life cycles, host-parasite relations, biocoenotic connections, and ...

Postcolonial Ecologies of Parasite and Host: Making Parasitism Cosmopolitan

Journal of the History of Biology, 2016
The interest of F. Macfarlane Burnet in host-parasite interactions grew through the 1920s and 1930s, culminating in his book, Biological Aspects of Infectious Disease (1940), often regarded as the founding text of disease ecology. Our knowledge of the influences on Burnet's ecological thinking is still incomplete.

Ecology and Evolution of Parasitism

2008
Abstract Is it possible to omit parasites when studying free-living organisms? The answer is clearly no! Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and now make up a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life.
