Malaria and leishmaniasis are endemic parasitic diseases in tropical and subtropical
countries. Although the overlap of these diseases in the same host is frequently described …

Background Soils harbour a remarkable diversity of interacting fungi, bacteria, and other
microbes: together these perform a wide variety of ecological roles from nutrient cycling and …

Insect herbivory is pervasive in plant communities, but its impact on microbial plant
colonizers is not well-studied in natural systems. By calibrating sequencing-based bacterial …

Infection by multiple pathogens of the same host is ubiquitous in both natural and managed
habitats. While intraspecific variation in disease resistance is known to affect pathogen …

Multiple infections, either simultaneous or sequential, affecting a single plant or crop are
now recognized to be common in plant disease epidemics. These multiple infections thus …

Parasite biodiversity in cetaceans represents a neglected component of the marine
ecosystem. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and genetic diversity of anisakid …

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

Abstract The New Zealand's Greenshell™ mussel (Perna canaliculus) aquaculture industry
is being affected by summer mortality events associated with increasing seawater …

Parasites can indirectly affect ecosystem function by altering host phenotype, but the trait‐
mediated impacts of parasitism at an ecosystem level remain poorly characterised …

Viral diversity has been discovered across scales from host individuals to populations.
However, the drivers of viral community assembly are still largely unknown. Within-host viral …
