Biological invasions have the potential to influence parasite dynamics by altering ecological
interactions. Similarly, parasitism can influence invasion by aiding or limiting expansion …

Although different predictive models forecast that climate change will alter the distribution
and incidence of parasitic diseases, few studies have investigated how microclimatic …

Many hypotheses attempt to explain parasite–host associations, but rarely are they
examined together in a single community. For hosts, key traits are the proportion of infected …

Variation in susceptibility is ubiquitous in multi‐host, multi‐parasite assemblages, and can
have profound implications for ecology and evolution in these systems. The extent to which …

Habitat alteration can disrupt host–parasite interactions and lead to the emergence of new
diseases in wild populations. The cerrado habitat of Brazil is being fragmented and …

Habitat modification may change vertebrate and vector-borne disease distributions.
However, natural forest regeneration through secondary succession may mitigate these …

Despite the ubiquity of disease seasonality, mechanisms behind the fluctuations in seasonal
diseases are still poorly understood. Avian hemosporidiosis is increasingly used as a model …

Avian malaria is a vector transmitted disease caused by Plasmodium and recent studies
suggest that variation in its prevalence across avian hosts is correlated with a variety of …

Latitudinal gradients are well-suited systems that may be helpful explaining distribution of
haemosporidian parasites and host susceptibility. We studied the prevalence, diversity and …

The transmission of vector-borne protozoa such as parasites of the Order Haemosporida is
dependent on both biotic and abiotic factors such as host life history traits and environmental …
