Multidimensionality and intra-individual variation in host manipulation by an acanthocephalan.

Parasitology - 1 Apr 2008

Benesh D P, Valtonen E T, Seppälä O

Abstract excerpt

Trophically-transmitted parasites frequently alter multiple aspects of their host's phenotype. Correlations between modified characteristics may suggest how different traits are mechanistically related, but these potential relationships remain unexplored. We recorded 5 traits from individual isopods infected with an acanthocephalan (Acanthocephalus lucii): hiding, activity, substrate colour preference, body...
