Host–multiparasite interactions in amphibians: a review
Parasites, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protists, helminths, and arthropods, are
ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. Consequently, hosts are frequently infected with more …

Heterogeneous Occupancy and Density Estimates of the Pathogenic Fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in Waters of North America
Biodiversity losses are occurring worldwide due to a combination of stressors. For example,
by one estimate, 40% of amphibian species are vulnerable to extinction, and disease is one …

Disease and the extended phenotype: parasites control host performance and survival through induced changes in body plan
BA Goodman, PTJ Johnson - PLoS One, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Background By definition, parasites harm their hosts. However, some forms of parasite-
induced alterations increase parasite transmission between hosts, such that manipulated …

Using multi‐response models to investigate pathogen coinfections across scales: Insights from emerging diseases of amphibians
Associations among parasites affect many aspects of host–parasite dynamics, but a lack of
analytical tools has limited investigations of parasite correlations in observational data that …
