Global patterns in helminth host specificity: phylogenetic and functional diversity of regional host species pools matter

2018-08-18

Abstract excerpt

Host specificity has a major influence on a parasite's ability to shift between human and animal host species. Yet there is a dearth of quantitative approaches to explore variation in host specificity across biogeographical scales, particularly in response to the varying community compositions of potential hosts. We built a global dataset of intermediate host associations for nine of the world's most widespread he...
