Aggregation is a fundamental feature of parasite distribution in the host population, but the
biological implications of the aggregation indices used to describe the relationships …

The level of aggregation in parasite populations is frequently incorporated into ecological
studies. It is measured in various ways including variance-to-mean ratio, mean crowding, the …

Nycteribiidae encompasses a specialized group of wingless blood-sucking flies that
parasitize bats worldwide. Such relationships are frequently species-or genus-specific …

The Tallis-Leyton model is a simple model of parasite acquisition where there is no
interaction between the host and the acquired parasites. We examine the effect of model …

Parasites are nearly universally aggregated among their hosts, and this aggregation has
important consequences for population-level experiences of disease, coinfection by multiple …
