Is the population genetic structure of complex life cycle parasites determined by the geographic range of the most motile host?

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Dec 2010

Abstract excerpt

Due to their particular way of life, dispersal of parasites is often mediated by their host's biology. Dispersal distance is relevant for parasites because high degree of dispersal leads to high gene flow, which counters the rate of parasite local adaptation in the host populations. Parasites with complex life cycles need to exploit sequentially more than one host species to complete their life cycle. Most...
