Antidepressants are among the most commonly detected human pharmaceuticals in the
aquatic environment. Since their mode of action is by modulating the neurotransmitters …

The diversity of ways in which host manipulation by parasites interferes with ecological and
evolutionary processes governing biotic interactions has been recently documented, and …

Many taxa of parasites modify the behavior of their hosts in ways that improve their
probability of transmission. Regardless of its evolutionary origins or underlying mechanisms …

The effects of serotonin altering parasites, serotonin, the anti-depressant fluoxetine, plus two
other highly prescribed pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine and diclofenac) on the behaviour …

Parasites must overcome host immunity and change hosts for dispersal. Therefore,
seemingly odd behaviors of parasitized animals, like those exhibited by “Zombie ants” or the …

The ability to manipulate host behaviour is among the most fascinating and best-studied
adaptations of parasites. In this opinion article, we highlight trends and biases in the study of …

In the past decade, there have been increasing concerns over the effects of pharmaceutical
compounds in the aquatic environment, however very little is known about the effects of …

Parasitic infections are often followed by changes in host behaviour. Numerous and
exquisite examples of such behavioural alterations are known, covering a broad spectrum of …

Many trophically transmitted parasites with complex life cycles manipulate their intermediate
host behavior in ways facilitating their transmission to final host by predation. This facilitation …

The effect of host manipulation by parasites on trophic transmission to final hosts remains
unclear. The transmission benefits gained by manipulative parasites are difficult to assess …
