Ecological and biomedical functions of parasitofauna: Mechanistic and evolutionary perspectives.

Abstract excerpt

Parasites have traditionally been viewed primarily as pathogenic organisms associated with disease and economic burden. However, growing evidence indicates that parasitofauna-the diverse assemblage of parasitic organisms across ecosystems-plays fundamental roles in ecological regulation, host evolution, and biomedical innovation. Despite increasing recognition of these functions, existing literature largely...
