Host specificity in variable environments
Host specificity encompasses the range and diversity of host species that a parasite is
capable of infecting and is considered a crucial measure of a parasite's potential to shift …

Climate variation influences host specificity in avian malaria parasites
Parasites with low host specificity (eg infecting a large diversity of host species) are of
special interest in disease ecology, as they are likely more capable of circumventing …
