Epi‐parasitic mistletoes don't parasitise their host's host and this supports the immunity hypothesis for host choice

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Mistletoes have much higher transpiration rates than their hosts. This is the basis for the ecological “compatibility hypothesis” for host choice. The inability of mistletoes to penetrate a host and connect to its vascular system is the competing “immunity hypothesis”.

Massive gene loss in mistletoe (Viscum, Viscaceae) mitochondria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractParasitism is a successful survival strategy across all kingdoms and has evolved repeatedly in angiosperms. Parasitic plants obtain nutrients from other plants and some are agricultural pests. Obligate parasites, which cannot complete their lifecycle without a host, may lack functional photosystems (holoparasites), or have retained ...

Epiparasitism in Phoradendron durangense and P. falcatum (Viscaceae)

Phoradendron, the largest mistletoe genus in the New World, extends from temperate North America to temperate South America. Most species are parasitic on terrestrial hosts, but a few occur only, or primarily, on other species of Phoradendron. We examined relationships among two obligate epiparasites, P. durangense and P.
