Biogeographical patterns of endolithic infestation in an invasive and an indigenous intertidal marine ecosystem engineer [PDF]
, 2019 By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate the engineering processes of marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed the biogeographical patterns of species assemblages, prevalence and impact of endolithic ...

Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Denmark
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019 Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide importance. In this study, we estimated T. gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars in Denmark, where little is known about T. gondii in animal hosts.

Host and parasite morphology influence congruence between host and parasite phylogenies
International Journal for Parasitology, 2018 Comparisons of host and parasite phylogenies often show varying degrees of phylogenetic congruence. However, few studies have rigorously explored the factors driving this variation. Multiple factors such as host or parasite morphology may govern the degree of phylogenetic congruence.
