The context of host competence: a role for plasticity in host–parasite dynamics
SS Gervasi, DJ Civitello, HJ Kilvitis, LB Martin - Trends in parasitology, 2015 - cell.com
Even apparently similar hosts can respond differently to the same parasites. Some
individuals or specific groups of individuals disproportionately affect disease dynamics …

A population biology perspective on the stepwise infection process of the bacterial pathogen Pasteuria ramosa in Daphnia
The infection process of many diseases can be divided into series of steps, each one
required to successfully complete the parasite's life and transmission cycle. This approach …

Population density, not host competence, drives patterns of disease in an invaded community
Generalist parasites can strongly influence interactions between native and invasive
species. Host competence can be used to predict how an invasive species will affect …

Parasite rearing and infection temperatures jointly influence disease transmission and shape seasonality of epidemics
Seasonal epidemics erupt commonly in nature and are driven by numerous mechanisms.
Here, we suggest a new mechanism that could determine the size and timing of seasonal …

Evolutionary rescue in host-pathogen systems
CL Searle, MR Christie - Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Natural populations encounter a variety of threats that can increase their risk of extinction.
Populations can avoid extinction through evolutionary rescue (ER), which occurs when an …

Temperature and host diet jointly influence the outcome of infection in a Daphnia‐fungal parasite system
Climate change has the potential to shape the future of infectious diseases, both directly and
indirectly. In aquatic systems, for example, elevated temperatures can modulate the …

Inconsistent dilution: experimental but not field evidence for a dilution effect in Daphnia–bacteria interactions
The dilution effect hypothesis, which suggests greater host biodiversity can reduce infectious
disease transmission, occurs in many systems but is not universal. Most studies only …
