The Evolution of Host‐Parasite Range
The American Naturalist, 2010Understanding the coevolution of hosts and parasites is one of the key challenges for evolutionary biology. In particular, it is important to understand the processes that generate and maintain variation. Here, we examine a coevolutionary model of hosts and parasites where infection does not depend on absolute rates of transmission and defense but is ...

The phenomenon of parasitism occurs amongst all groups of infective agents whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths or arthropods. The main concern of this book is with the protozoa, helminths and arthropods, parasites that are still of public health importance in economically advanced societies.

The Ixodes (Acari: Ixodidae) of Mexico: parasite-host and host-parasite checklists
Zootaxa, 2007Parasite-host and host-parasite checklists are provided for all species of Ixodes known from Mexico; host and locality data are from specimens housed in the Colección Nacional de Ácaros, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and from literature. Six Ixodes species (I. brunneus, I. conepati, I. dentatus, I.

The Effects of Parasitism on the Host and on the Parasite
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1926The life of a parasite, contrary to general opinion, is not an easy one, it is full of dangers and the parasite is rigorously circumscribed. Parasitism is an achievement and the term degenerate is not aptly applied to this mode of living. Parasites are adapted to this mode of life in two general respects, namely (1) physiologically and (2 ...

Parasite―host coevolution and geographic patterns of parasite infectivity and host susceptibility
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996Ebert (1994) has proposed the rule that parasites are, with few exceptions, more infective to sympatric hosts than to allopatric hosts. We test this rule using field data for schistosome infections of planorbid snails and find that, although sympatric parasite-host combinations do tend to be more compatible, there are exceptions where particular ...

Evolution of Host-Parasite Diversity
Evolution, 1993Hosts and parasites often have extensive genetic diversity for resistance and virulence (host range). Qualitative diversity occurs when the success of attack is an all-or-nothing response that varies according to the genotypes of the host and parasite.
