Abstract: Abstract Host density is an important factor when it comes to parasite transmission and host resistance. Increased host density can increase contact rate between individuals and thus parasite transmission. Host density can also cause physiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s003118202200052x
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Host density is a key regulatory factor in parasite transmission. The goldfish (Carassius auratus)-Gyrodactylus kobayashii model was used to investigate effects of host density on population growth of gyrodactylids. A donor fish infected… read more here.

Abstract: Studies on spatial density dependence in parasitism have paid scarce attention to how changes in host density at different hierarchical scales could influence parasitism in an herbivore at a particular scale. Here, we evaluated if… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/afe.12423
Abstract: Thaumetopoea pityocampa is the most important pine defoliator in the Mediterranean basin. Despite being attacked by a number of natural enemies, populations occur frequently at high density in several areas. Egg parasitism was studied in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology12030394
Abstract: Simple Summary The interaction of small mammals in the ecosystem is not limited to humans and other wildlife; it also includes organisms that inhibit their bodies, so-called “parasites”. Arthropod ectoparasites are a diverse and well-adapted… read more here.
