Connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is constituted of the sets of connections between
entities, such that a change in one entity may result in a change in the other entity, and that …

The gastrointestinal nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus (H. contortus) is a resident of
tropical and subtropical regions worldwide that imposes significant production losses …

Viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotic symbionts interact with algae in a variety of ways to cause
disease complexes, often shaping marine and freshwater ecosystems. The advent of …

The current outbreak (COVID-19) of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in China and the
beginning of its subsequent global spread is already impacting global health systems and …

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 …

An animal's social behaviour both influences and changes in response to its parasites. Here
we consider these bidirectional links between host social behaviours and parasite infection …

Why do infectious diseases erupt in some host populations and not others? This question
has spawned independent fields of research in evolution, ecology, public health, agriculture …

If parasites transmit more readily between closely related hosts, then parasite burdens
should decrease with increased genetic diversity of host populations. This important …

Many species‐rich ecological communities emerge from adaptive radiation events. Yet the
effects of adaptive radiation on community assembly remain poorly understood. Here, we …

Pathogens continue to emerge from increased contact with novel host species. Whilst these
hosts can represent distinct environments for pathogens, the impacts of host genetic …
