Structural equation modelling (SEM) can illuminate complex interaction networks of the sort
found in ecology. However, selecting optimally complex, data‐supported SEM models and …

The way that some parasites and pathogens persist in the hostile environment of their host
for long periods remains to be resolved. Here, longitudinal field surveys were combined with …

Parasites, including pathogens, can adapt to better exploit their hosts on many scales,
ranging from within an infection of a single individual to series of infections spanning …

Based on molecular data, previous studies have suggested a high overall diversity and co‐
infection rates of Bartonella bacteria in wild rodents and their fleas. However, partial genetic …

Disentangling the mechanisms that mediate the relationships between species diversity and
disease risk has both theoretical and applied implications. We employed a model system of …

The widespread temporal and spatial persistence of endosymbionts in arthropod host
populations, despite potential conflicts with their hosts and fluctuating environmental …

Simple Summary In this era, characterized by remarkable anthropogenic impacts on wildlife,
it is crucial to monitor the health of wild animal populations while minimizing the interference …

ABSTRACT Two Wolbachia strains, w Mel and w AlbB, have been transinfected into Aedes
aegypti mosquitoes for population replacement with the aim of reducing dengue …

Parasites can adapt to better exploit their hosts on many scales, ranging from within an
infection of a single individual to series of infections spanning multiple host species …

Endosymbionts—microbes that live within and engage in prolonged and intimate
associations with their hosts—are gaining recognition for their direct impact on plant and …
