Understanding drivers of parasite infections in baboons : insights across multiple levels, from populations to genetics

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Parasites play an important role in evolutionary processes and regulating host populations. Furthermore, parasites have the ability to result in economically and physically disruptive diseases which are becoming increasingly common as anthropogenic change disrupts the ecology of host-parasite systems. Exploring the drivers that influence parasite transmission and infection can further our understanding of host-par...
