Signs of a vector's adaptive choice: on the evasion of infectious hosts and parasite-induced mortality [PDF]
, 1994 Laboratory and field experiments have demonstrated in many cases that malaria vectors do not feed randomly, but show important preferences either for infected or non-infected hosts.

The effect of host social system on parasite population genetic structure: comparative population genetics of two ectoparasitic mites and their bat hosts. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: The population genetic structure of a parasite, and consequently its ability to adapt to a given host, is strongly linked to its own life history as well as the life history of its host.

Host phylogeny, geographic overlap, and roost sharing shape parasite communities in European bats [PDF]
, 2019 How multitrophic relationships between wildlife communities and their ectoparasitic vectors interact to shape the diversity of vector-borne microorganisms is poorly understood. Nested levels of dependence among microbes, vectors, and vertebrate hosts may

Density-dependent sex ratio and sex-specific preference for host traits in parasitic bat flies. [PDF]
, 2017 Deviation of sex ratios from unity in wild animal populations has recently been demonstrated to be far more prevalent than previously thought. Ectoparasites are prominent examples of this bias, given that their sex ratios vary from strongly female- to ...
