Wildlife diseases: from individuals to ecosystems
We review our ecological understanding of wildlife infectious diseases from the individual
host to the ecosystem scale, highlighting where conceptual thinking lacks verification …

Comparing mechanisms of host manipulation across host and parasite taxa
KD Lafferty, JC Shaw - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013 - journals.biologists.com
Parasites affect host behavior in several ways. They can alter activity, microhabitats or both.
For trophically transmitted parasites (the focus of our study), decreased activity might impair …
