Facilitative priority effects drive parasite assembly under coinfection
Host individuals are often coinfected with diverse parasite assemblages, resulting in
complex interactions among parasites within hosts. Within hosts, priority effects occur when …

Priority effects within coinfected hosts can drive unexpected population‐scale patterns of parasite prevalence
Organisms are frequently coinfected by multiple parasite strains and species, and
interactions between parasites within hosts are known to influence parasite prevalence and …

Predators and patterns of within-host growth can mediate both among-host competition and evolution of transmission potential of parasites
Parasite prevalence shows tremendous spatiotemporal variation. Theory indicates that this
variation might stem from life-history characteristics of parasites and key ecological factors …

Parasite competition hidden by correlated coinfection: using surveys and experiments to understand parasite interactions
PTJ Johnson, ID Buller - Ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Within most free‐living species exists a cryptic community of interacting parasites. By
