Some parasites modify the phenotype of their host in order to increase transmission to
another host or to an environment suitable for reproduction. This phenomenon, known as …

Many animal parasites can alter the behavior of animals in ways that benefit their own
fitness. Insects are a frequent target for behavior manipulation by various parasites …

Insects and parasites dominate the biosphere, in terms of known biodiversity and mode of
life, respectively. Consequently, insects play a part in many host-parasite systems, either as …

For over a century, vector ecology has been a mainstay of vector-borne disease control.
Much of this research has focused on the sensory ecology of blood-feeding arthropods …
