Potential parasite transmission in multi-host networks based on parasite sharing
Epidemiological networks are commonly used to explore dynamics of parasite transmission
among individuals in a population of a given host species. However, many parasites infect …

Host traits associated with species roles in parasite sharing networks
The community of host species that a parasite infects is often explained by functional traits
and phylogeny, predicting that closely related hosts or those with particular traits share more …

Temporal dynamics of direct reciprocal and indirect effects in a host–parasite network
Temporal variation in the direct and indirect influence that hosts and parasites exert on each
other is still poorly understood. However, variation in species' influence due to species and …

Centrality in primate–parasite networks reveals the potential for the transmission of emerging infectious diseases to humans
JM Gómez, CL Nunn, M Verdú - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Most emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in humans have arisen from animals. Identifying
high-risk hosts is therefore vital for the control and surveillance of these diseases. Viewing …

Fish–parasite interaction networks reveal latitudinal and taxonomic trends in the structure of host–parasite associations
R Poulin, C McDougall - Parasitology, 2022 - cambridge.org
In recent years, treating host–parasite associations as bipartite interaction networks has
proven a powerful tool to identify structural patterns and their likely causes in communities of …

Parasite transmission in a natural multihost–multiparasite community
Understanding the transmission and dynamics of infectious diseases in natural communities
requires understanding the extent to which the ecology, evolution and epidemiology of those …

Native and invasive hosts play different roles in host–parasite networks
Parasites are often key players in biological invasions since they can mediate the impact of
host invasions or can themselves become invasive species. However, the nature and extent …

Co-extinction in a host-parasite network: identifying key hosts for network stability
T Dallas, E Cornelius - Scientific Reports, 2015 - nature.com
Parasites comprise a substantial portion of total biodiversity. Ultimately, this means that host
extinction could result in many secondary extinctions of obligate parasites and potentially …

Detecting parasite associations within multi-species host and parasite communities
Understanding the role of biotic interactions in shaping natural communities is a long-
standing challenge in ecology. It is particularly pertinent to parasite communities sharing the …
