Context-dependent symbioses and their potential roles in wildlife diseases

Abstract excerpt

It is well known in ecology, evolution and medicine that both the nature (commensal, parasitic and mutualistic) and outcome (symbiont fitness, survival) of symbiotic interactions are often context-dependent.
