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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

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 …

In nature, parasite species often coinfect the same host. Yet, it is not clear what drives the
natural dynamics of coinfection prevalence. The prevalence of coinfections might be affected …

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

Produced amidst the still rippling effects of a pandemic and as the world experiences the
increasing burden of global warming and a rapidly changing biosphere, the second edition …
