Host traits explain the genetic structure of parasites: a meta-analysis.

Parasitology - 1 Sept 2013

Blasco-Costa Isabel, Poulin Robert

Abstract excerpt

Gene flow maintains the genetic integrity of species over large spatial scales, and dispersal maintains gene flow among separate populations. However, body size is a strong correlate of dispersal ability, with small-bodied organisms being poor dispersers. For parasites, small size may be compensated by using their hosts for indirect dispersal. In trematodes, some species use only aquatic hosts to complete their...
