Complex effects of non-host diversity on the removal of free-living infective stages of parasites

2020-12-09

Abstract excerpt

Ecological communities can affect transmission pathways of parasites and pathogens, ultimately affecting disease dynamics. While the community composition of less competent decoy hosts is known to affect diseases in focal hosts, it remains poorly understood whether such diversity effects also exist when non-host organisms remove free-living parasite stages, e.g. by predation. In response surface design laboratory...
