DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04600-4
Abstract: Prevalence of a parasite may be influenced by age of the habitat (= time available for hosts and parasites to colonize habitats), assemblage composition of host and non-host species, or biotic and abiotic habitat features. For… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2021.12.007
Abstract: Understanding variations in host-parasite relationships with urbanization is vital for both, public health management and conservation of endemic animals with high anthropogenic interactions. Toque macaques (Macaca sinica) are such endemic old-world monkeys in Sri Lanka.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12647
Abstract: Parasitic infections can impact the fitness of individuals and can have influence on animals' population dynamics. An individuals' parasite prevalence often changes depending on external or seasonal changes, e.g., rainfall and ambient temperatures, but also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.05937
Abstract: Organisms are frequently coinfected by multiple parasite strains and species, and interactions between parasites within hosts are known to influence parasite prevalence and diversity, as well as epidemic timing. Importantly, interactions between coinfecting parasites can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0199172
Abstract: Plasmodium falciparum infections presenting either as symptomatic or asymptomatic may contain sexual stage parasites (gametocytes) that are crucial to malaria transmission. In this study, the prevalence of microscopic and submicroscopic asexual and gametocyte parasite stages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0240058
Abstract: Introduction Malaria surveillance is a key pillar in the control of malaria in Africa. The value of using routinely collected data from health facilities to define malaria risk at community levels remains poorly defined. Methods… read more here.

Extrinsic and intrinsic drivers of parasite prevalence and parasite species richness in a marine bivalve
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0274474
Abstract: Parasite species richness is influenced by a range of drivers including host related factors (e.g. host size) and environmental factors (e.g. seawater temperature). However, identification of modulators of parasite species richness remains one of the… read more here.
