Ecology and evolution of facilitation among symbionts
Facilitation occurs when one species positively impacts the fitness of another, and has
predominantly been studied in free-living species like plants. Facilitation can also occur …

Plasmodium interspecies interactions during a period of increasing prevalence of Plasmodium ovale in symptomatic individuals seeking treatment: an observational …
Background The epidemiology and severity of non-falciparum malaria in endemic settings
has garnered little attention. We aimed to characterise the prevalence, interaction, clinical …

Detecting parasite associations within multi-species host and parasite communities
Understanding the role of biotic interactions in sha** natural communities is a long-

The dominance of coinfecting parasites' indirect genetic effects on host traits
DI Bolnick, S Arruda, C Polania… - The American …, 2024 - journals.uchicago.edu
Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) exist when there is heritable variation in one organism's ability
to alter a second organism's traits. For example, parasites have antigens that can induce a …

Patterns of variation in equine strongyle community structure across age groups and gut compartments
Background Equine strongyles encompass more than 64 species of nematode worms that
are responsible for growth retardation and the death of animals. The factors underpinning …

The impact of coinfection dynamics on host competition and coexistence
Parasites can mediate competition among host species in an ecological community by
differentially affecting key parameters that normally give one species a competitive edge. In …

Influence of land use and host species on parasite richness, prevalence and co-infection patterns
Tropical forests are experiencing increasing impacts from a multitude of anthropogenic
activities such as logging and conversion to agricultural use. These perturbations are …

Different paths–the same virulence: experimental study on avian single and co-infections with Plasmodium relictum and Plasmodium elongatum
V Palinauskas, R Žiegytė, J Šengaut… - International Journal for …, 2018 - Elsevier
Co-infections are prevalent worldwide, however, we are still struggling to understand
interactions between different parasites and their impacts on host fitness. In the present …

Disentangling complex parasite interactions: protection against cerebral malaria by one helminth species is jeopardized by co-infection with another
Multi-species interactions can often have non-intuitive consequences. However, the study of
parasite interactions has rarely gone beyond the effects of pairwise combinations of species …
